The word "cark" is an old word, which comes from old Norman word [i]carken]/i], and almost certainly followed the Norman conquest of the Saxons in 1066. To Cark means to 'burden' or to 'load down', but like with all things, when Americans get with something they manage to bastardize it even further.

I've never heard it used, I think it's something Twist is trying to make happen.

I've never heard it either. But I'm an old fart and not 'with the program' any longer.

I think most of us are old farts here except maybe Anthony.

Oh, ok. I suppose you are referring to 'thinking' and not 'chronological', right? Tait(Gunnen4U) is only 23, or 24 years old. But he is still an old fart in how he looks at the world.

She's referring to chronological. There are a few under 35 here but most of us are over 40.

That's why I wrote "most" and not "all".

One time at some forum I had a thread where you had to name something.
I named that spot that is like a part of a circle on the bottom of your windshield that the wiper leaves unwiped a twisteroo.
As you can see it caught on world wide, and you now know the origin of the name for that unwiped windshield spot.

Thank you, thankyouverymuch.

This cacking can happen.

Actually the Brits were the guilty party here. I have seen them using it in internet conversations for a long time. It's just that Americans have been following the lead and adopting many UK slangs lately.
