Doesn't KISS stand for Kings in Satan's Service?

The rumor was "Knights" but here is a reply:

No it was just an urban legend. But it sure helped them sell some records. There was another variation of Knights in Satan's Service. Gene originally suggested using the "F word" for the name of the band

I always heard it was "Knights in Satan's Service." What I find ironic is Simmons and his family's holocaust past and the fact that KISS uses the SS-nazi sign in their logo. When they played in Germany in the 1970's, they were forbidden from using it and had to change the S's in the logo.

No, it means "Keep It Simple, Stupid."
