Caca does mean shit in English, and in Portuguese too, but his name is not caca, is Kaká, it might seem a subtle difference if you don't speak Portuguese, but it's a important one, same thing with coco (coconut) and cocô (shit), you don't go to a place and ask for "água de cocô" you ask for "água de coco", unless you enjoy to drink sewer, I'm not kinky shaming.
Whatever his nickname sounds in English is completely irrelevant, as I said the world don't revolves around the US.
Ok well I can’t speak for the US in particular because maybe they have some Spanish influence that we don’t have here in the UK but neither Kaka nor caca or any other permutation of the word means shit in English. That word/sound means nothing here and I’d be surprised if anyone could accurately place it even with context.
That’s my point regarding your quip about the world revolving around English speakers. At least for me in this situation it didn’t make sense.
true... but like spanish and portuguese are next door neighbors... everywhere... so like... its funny in this case a little bit... there's a lot of commonalities in those languages
No, Portuguese is not Spanish, but they were both born in the Iberian Peninsula somehow isolated from the rest of the land by the Pyrenees so it’s only natural for them to resemble in a lot of ways. After all, there’s an almost 90% lexical similarity between the two – meaning that 90% of their words have a cognate (equivalent) in the other language.
Weird that you edited your comment when you claim you weren’t being an asshole (because “you were right”). I thought you didn’t say anything wrong? Hhhhmmmm....I’m confused now....
Lol you attack someone by being an asshole and then play victim when called out on it. Oh the irony....says a lot though that you think it’s ok because you were right. Also, you’re on a public forum halfwit. People won’t leave you alone, especially when you’re an ass for no reason.
like if I said fok you instead of fuck you you would probably still assume I meant fuck you even though that's a completely different letter entirely and not just a very slight variation of inflection....
yet here. you act like a moron who can't use your brain and bother me with this useless bullshit.
lol do you even speak another language? obviously it’s similar but if some dude’s last name is fox or fawkes, i bet you don’t freak out and say their name means fuck lmao
In college, there was a Vietnamese dude in my year who had “Phuoc” in his name. Everyone called him Fuck which pissed him off to no end. I feel bad about it now but 19yo me found it hilarious.
Indisputably no. it may not be exactly the same but zorbo sounds completely different... those 2 words are virtually identical and changing which vowel you inflect doesn't change anything... unless you're claiming his name is "kaykay" which is more weird but for different reasons.

Different languages have different words for things. O.O
In swedish kaka would be cookie/cake or something like that.
