I was very puzzled until early in this thread, I remember one bro advised that some vb use ko or kg as shortform for khong. Using Vdict, one of the possible defination for "con" is "also".
Can "khong con" be read as "no also" which might fit in the 2nd line lovesprout bro posted:
You are just like me. We both want to know every single detail in Tieng Viet.

1. Some girls told me that it is more proper to use "ko" as the short form of "khong". Using "kg" is OK, but not very common.

2. Most of the time "con" means "still". However, it seems like "kg co" is more like "ko co" as pointed out by bro Deptrai here
