Cack is a slang term that appeared in mid–20th-century English to describe a contemptible, worthless, or unpleasant person. The word originally meant feces or excrement, and by extension, it was applied metaphorically to people regarded as worthless or disgusting. Literally, it labels someone as equivalent to filth. Historically, it was derogatory and insulting, used to mock or belittle someone's character. Today it remains informal, coarse, and offensive, mainly used in mocking, critical, or humorous contexts rather than polite conversation.

In Australian slang, "to cack" means to laugh loudly or uncontrollably, usually in response to something funny, absurd, or embarrassing. It is used in informal speech, especially among younger speakers, to describe a strong, unrestrained reaction rather than a quiet or restrained laugh. The slang developed from the standard English word "cackle," which originally referred to the harsh, repetitive sound made by birds such as hens and was later used to describe loud or shrill human laughter. In Australian usage, "cackle" was shortened to "cack," reflecting the informal, clipped style typical of Australian slang.
