Talk:cack up

RFV discussion: November 2015–March 2016
A synonym of crack up, I would assume this is just a rare typo, we probably don't need a page for it (though I wouldn't be upset if someone really wanted to make it a misspelling). The example refers to an Australian TV show, so is it Aussie slang?

With some casual googling, it looks like there may be a different idiomatic use. If someone can figure it out, go ahead (WW2 slang related to flying, possibly). cacked-up also appears to be a valid adjective, not sure if it's just a variant/typo of cracked-up or something else.

The hits at  suggest an additional transitive sense of to , to .  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:34, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hm, yes, you're right, I found plenty of cites in google groups for a couple of defs, which I've added. There's a paucity of misspellings of crack up and even catch up. WurdSnatcher (talk) 01:00, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
