Oh, dude, 12k stands for 12,000. The "k" is a shorthand for "thousand" in the metric system, so it's like saying "12 thousand." If it stood for 1200, it would be written as 1.2k. But hey, who's counting?

In the metric system, "k" stands for "kilo," which represents a factor of 1000. Therefore, 12k would stand for 12,000, as "kilo" denotes a multiplication by 1000.
