Words are for me a very interesting subject.
Now this blog is somewhat interesting read, albeit on a popular subject... Sex.
But to me, this post had this English lady (or call her by whatever name you want), using the words "cacking in my pants from fear" (end of the 3rd paragraph). Now to the average afrikaans speaking person, it's obviously an english form of "kak", the afrikaans for shit.
Searching on the internet (www.dictionary.com, as well as www.thefreedictionary.com) didn't have an origin to the word.
Anyway, this post is dedicated to those afrikaners in London and the rest of england who are influencing the english language to such an extent!

I'm not too sure if that's the impact of Afrikaans on the rest of the world, but then again, the Urban Dictionary isn't the most reliable source. Go see the entries for kak, cack and plop plops.
