A portmanteau of the Afrikaans phrase “kak praat” (meaning “talking shit” or “nonsense talk”) and “marathon,” describing prolonged, unproductive government discussions or summits held in opulent settings like luxury hotels with red carpets, gourmet catering, designer outfits, and champagne. These events drag on endlessly, generating hot air and photo ops but zero time-bound, actionable outcomes. Often associated with South African politics, especially the ANC’s habit of staging such spectacles while real issues fester.

another term for a station wagon, mini-van, or any other kind of vehicle that is targeted at the "family" demographic(also M.A.V.)
"Tactical advantages aside, the M.A.V. is top of the line for the holy warrior troop transport manufactured by the Church of Latter Day Saints Military Industrial Complex. Also great for family trips...to heathen lands."
