Kief or kak - that is the question!

Everything in life can be only one of two things: kief or kak.

What is kief and what is kak?

Kief is a term that originated in the East (of Johannesburg) meaning something is nice, ayoba, satisfactory, etc. Kief is like cool, but with chrome mags and dash fur.

We chose the word kief because it's kief.

Kak on the other hand (figuratively speaking of course) is an Afrikaans word meaning crap, shit, excrement, etc. Kak is like... like... Julias Malema.

We chose kak because it's such a kief word.

Kief things and kak things are all around us. We encounter them every day. My new cellphone is kief. Traffic to work this morning was kak. My holiday next week is going to be kief. Vuvuzelas are kak.

Some things start out kief and become kak. Like bellbottom jeans. Or the word ayoba. Or my job.

The aim of this blog is to highlight certain instances of kiefness and kakness, and in some cases vote whether something is kief or kak.

It's going to be so kief!

Kief kak?

Sometimes kak tries to be kief - do not be fooled!

Always remember: kak in any other guise is still kak!

Themed Family Portraits



If you absolutely have to have a themed family portrait and you dont won't make your family name Kak, please oh please don't do this!

On the kakometer of family portraits this is about 9.9 just a fart away from 10.

Vuvuzelas

This must be what it sounds like when satan farts. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is an 11 on the kakometer.

"The essence of Kief, nicely packaged in a mobile phone"

The kiefest phone I've ever had.

If I could have this phone surgically attached to my hand I would, on the kiefometer of mobile phones it is easily a 10!

Wearing a speedo

What's that smell? Smells like kak to me!

And don't even get me started on the necklace...

Plakkies with socks


This is way past just a fashion faux pas. Looking so kak should be against the law. This looks almost as kak as wearing a speedo!
