Ah, I think you're right. I actually learned the word first from a Cory Doctorow novella I, Robot (no, not Asimov), and there I can see it's definitely spelled with a "C".

My ex was Italian-German, so linguistically "C" felt right for her when writing, but to spell it out she would use a "K" since the letter C in german doesn't exist (yeah okay it does but not by itself, and if it does then it's mostly from imported words... like capeesh....), and I've probably overwritten the spelling of "capeesh" in my head from that.
