Cackastrophe still works in British English. I can imagine The S*n using it in a headline.

Ah, fine antigermanic word joinery after the fashion of carbon rings with odd number member count being antiorganic (and polar.) Keep winning the marine crafting, green chemistry, turbines…er, windmills and cosmopolitan trading stuff, you’ll get some Brand awards by it yet.

I have a bit of Dutch ancestry. A lot actually. Don’t speak much sadly. But a combination of irreverence regarding sexual taboos, and understated and at times sardonic sense of humour, and an almost incongruent stubbornness and at times serious demeanor is the best way I can describe my experience of my relatives. Can definitely imagine them coming up with these marketing campaigns.

Naai also means screw - as in, ripped off, “Jij heeft mij genaaid!” (You screwed me!) or, have sex, “Wil jij met mij naaien?” (Would you like to screw with me?)
