Why the "k"? Is that some sort of political code or revolutionary sentiment as it used to be in "Amerika"? | |||

Afrika is boer'ish. Being from there gives him higher ground than 'n buitelander as jou. Be nice and you'll get better advice here. 2 cents _______________________ | |||

Perhaps offering the etymology of the 'c' version first will inspire 303 to offer the etymology of the 'k' version. My guess is because he speaks Afrikaans and not Africaans. | |||

Its Amerika and Afrika in Swedish also, nothing political about it  | |||

[quote]Why the "k"? Is that some sort of political code or revolutionary sentiment as it used to be in "Amerika"? Actually it is a secret code for all us whiteys to take up arms. We engineered it along with Hitler and the Easter Bunny. Big foot will deliver the coup de grace. | |||

Quite simple really....... It's because we invented the language and made the rules and then we lent it to our colonies for them to bastardise in their own particular ways.   | |||

I am much better in Fanagalo and Sotho than I ever was in English. I learned that there is British English and American English and then there is our English. Our English have words like - kak, bliksem, donner and fok that makes total cense to me but it does not to the other English speaking nations. I also learned that it is because us Boere screw everything up for the rest so as to suit us better. That is because the colonies did not work and they introduced us to the game of Rugby. That is my explanation.  Fritz Rabe Askari Adventures & Fritz Rabe Bow-hunting | |||

Fritz....... OK. I'll admit we should never have taught you blokes how to play rugby........ you're far too good at it now for OUR own good! | |||

Hey!!! Whatch it!! You guys bribed the ref and the TV rev and our coach and our minister of sport so that mr. Mc Caw can hold that cup. Wait for the new season and we shall talk again. Fritz Rabe Askari Adventures & Fritz Rabe Bow-hunting | |||

No need to bribe the refs...... they're all deaf, dumb, blind and (rather like the SA team ) completely ignorant of the rules.  | |||

There is a saying - Don't brake the rules. Just bend it. We got that part from Sean Fitzpatrick and just perfected it. So don't be jealous.  Fritz Rabe Askari Adventures & Fritz Rabe Bow-hunting | |||

I reckon SA are one of the very best teams in the world but that IF they played by the rules, they'd be THE best team in the world..... Skulk Burger (sp?) (IMO) is a good example. He could/should have been brilliant but instead is/was an accident just waiting to happen...... one day, he'll put someone in a wheelchair...... | |||

It is the second code for in-case things go nasty. The double K refers to picking up of two arms and taking out only political targets. Much wounding will ensue, several dangerous follow ups will need to be made at close quarters. They will not be allowed to "choose how they die". | |||

Quite simple simple: ORIGIN: from Old French, from Latin simplus. really....... really: ORIGIN late 15th cent.: via French from medieval Latin realitas, from late Latin realis ‘relating to things’ (see real) It's because because: ORIGIN: from the phrase by cause, influenced by Old French par cause de ‘by reason of.’ we invented invent: ORIGIN late 15th cent. (in the sense [find out, discover] ): via French, from Latin invent- ‘contrived, discovered,’ from the verb invenire, from in- ‘into’ + venire ‘come.’ the language language: ORIGIN: from Old French langage, based on Latin lingua ‘tongue.’ and and: ORIGIN from Latin gerundive ending -andus. made the rules rule: ORIGIN: from Old French reule (noun), reuler (verb), from late Latin regulare, from Latin regula ‘straight stick.’ and then we lent it to our colonies colonies: ORIGIN: from Latin colonia ‘settlement, farm,’ from colonus ‘settler, farmer,’ from colere ‘cultivate.’ for them to bastardise bastard: ORIGIN: via Old French from medieval Latin bastardus. in their own particular particular: ORIGIN: from Old French particuler, from Latin particularis ‘concerning a small part,’ from particula ‘small part.’ ways. | |||

With apologies to Shakari and Philip A. In reality the whole lot originated from gruntda snoor ehh ggghhhrr gxxhunta snit ? LEKKER - sweet LEKKERS - sweets - bob-bon [F] K K [double K] can also mean serious KAK ! 303Epps, man you must do some serious reading. Hunting never originated with the Boere or Afrikaaners. You guys came along a little too late to lay claim to that. | |||

You went to alot of trouble there Philip But it doesn't mean much as the POMs and the French are pretty much the same people. Didn't the Normans come from France?  ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

and they were originally taught to speak by succesive Roman Generals and their accompaning cohorts. | |||

Not quite Bakes. The Normans were "Northmen" = Vikings of one sort or another, who had an influence on the populations of many countries from Russia to Constantinople, broader Europe to Britian and beyond. The English language has always been the sum of many parts. England was impacted by many cultural and language groups from its first inhabitants through successive waves of imigrants (euphemism for invaders) from the celts to the Romans to the Germanic and Scandinavian boat people to the Norman-French and they all had a marked influence on the language leaving significent imprints that were then further hybridised by isolated dialetic and ideosyncratic differences through to the colonies of later day Britian and the different people groups from those colonies that bought further "colour" to the language. The amazing thing is that people from such diverse parts of the world can make themselves (partially ) understood. Bastardised and trampled on by accents that many strugle to hear through, it is still the surest way to comunicate one to another.(Those with a rugby ball or (hunting) rifle in hand seem to have an easier understandability than other unfortunates) Von Gruff. | |||
