'Kerflooey' is how it is spelt in the Merriam Webster Dictionary. As it's basically an American word, where better than an American dictionary to go for its spelling?
A slight take-off on the word was used several times in the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes until the originator, Bill Watterson, ended it several years ago. The best comic strip ever published and a great loss to the ironic use of humor, in my opinion... Calvin pestered his father for bedtime stories featuring "Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey" seen here: http://www.transmogrifier.org/ch/comics/search .cgi (enter Hamster Huey in the search engine).
Kerflooey aka Kablooey infers a disaster has/will/is happening...
Well I have heard of things going kerplonk or kerchunk and I have even played Kerplunk, but I aint not never heard of kerflooey!
