Source: UK - n.
As in "Cock", also used as "Horse Cack!" Or Nonsense, a feeling of disappointment. Originating from the famous Chuck Kania. When a referee makes a bad call in a game of basketball, football, hockey, etc. it is shouted out, "Horse Cack" as in Bull Shit.
Had a message from Chuck Kania - whether it is the "famous" one or not who can say... but anyway:
Hello, I saw that my name is in your dictionary for the word "Cack". There is also a different definition for the term "Horsecack" which is mentioned within the definition of "Cack" the alternate definition of "Horsecack" is one with a large penis; i.e. a horse cock.

Source: UK. (Wa) - cain hill
- n.
Cain Hill was where you "went" if you weren't right in the head. Used as "You're a nutter, you. You go to Cain 'ill". It was supposed to be a mental hospital, although whether it really existed is anyone's guess. There is a psychiatric hospital in Camberwell called The Maudsley where you would also "go" occasionally (for variety's sake presumably).
A mad bloke singing Elvis songs into a milk bottle (as a substitute microphone) was often seen outside The Maudsley at the bus stop.
Source: circa 1970's, UK (SE) - cak, cack, cacky, kak
- n.
Excrement, e.g. "cack face" Also "He got kakked on for shouting in the passage.",Variations are very common all over the world. Raises difficult questions of whether words used from another language count as slang. For example, this is a direct mutated transposition from the Afrikaans "kak" for "shit" - which of course raises the question of the origin of the colour 'khaki'!
Source: UK - Mike disputes the previous suggestion about the origin saying it's of French origin the word there being caca and it is more of an infantile word than the general slang it is in UK. You will find caca in a standard French -English dictionary.
So the widely used "cack handed" for someone clumsy is a fairly obvious extension (i.e. not very dextrous when cleaning themselves up on the WC)
