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

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

BaxterBPerhaps 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.

Actually it is a secret code for all us whiteys to take up arms. We engineered it along with Hitler and the Easter Bunny.

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.

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.

shakariI 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......

303,

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".

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.

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?

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)
