To Cark means to 'burden' or to 'load down', but like with all things, when Americans get with something they manage to bastardize it even further.
Actually the Brits were the guilty party here. I have seen them using it in internet conversations for a long time. It's just that Americans have been following the lead and adopting many UK slangs lately.
