In school we referred to Merry go round as “malle meule”...then another interesting one for a cars boot?...kattebak,who puts a cat there?Unless the cat refers to putting a lady in there?

Nope. chamber pot is a "slopemmer" (pronounced slop-emmer) or "kamer pot". The first one is for the bigger one that you actually sit on. The small one that you put under the bed is usually referred to as "kamer pot" or "piepie pot"

In MA se kamer staan nog een van daai enammel potte met n paar ''nerf af '' plekke - seker 60 plus jaar al!

Yup. Dit sal die "kamerpot" of "piepiepot" wees...lol. Ons het dit ook gehad, maar ek het dit nooit gebruik nie. Het altyd toilet toe geloop in die nag. Van kleins af.

Ek wonder hoeveel mense weet nog wat 'n "katel" is.......lol

Inteendeel, ek gebruik "katel" nog baie. As ek moeg is, hou ek daarvan om te sê: "Ek gaan nou katel toe."

Het al baie gekry dat mense my snaaks aankyk wanneer ek dit sê.

Dan weet jy ook wat katelkaskenades is?

Innie ou dae was dit op party karre n “fold out” agter sitplek. Waar die dames gesit het toe hulle nog hulle plek geken het! Nou’s ek in die sop!

@Jp1905 I've often wondered why they call it a "kattebak" but then why is it called "boot" in English? That doesn't make sense either. Nor does the American "trunk".
