alte kackern.

Brit.

/ˌaltə ˈkakə/, U.S.

/ˌɑltə ˈkɑkər/

Forms: 1900s– alta kacker, 1900s– alta kocker, 1900s– alte cocker, 1900s– alte kacker, 1900s– alte kaker, 1900s– alte kocker, 1900s– alter cocker, 1900s– alter kacker, 1900s– alter kaker, 1900s– alter kocker, 1900s– alter koker, 1900s– alter kucker.

Origin: A borrowing from Yiddish. Etymon: Yiddish alter kaker.

Etymology: < Yiddish alter kaker < German (vulgar and derogatory) alter Kacker old man (also with masculine definite article, der alte Kacker ) < alter , weak masculine singular of alt old adj. + Kacker (vulgar) despicable person, especially denoting a man (15th cent.; literally ‘person who defecates’, although the literal sense is rare; < kacken (vulgar) to defecate (see cack v.) + -er -er suffix¹). Compare earlier AK n. at A n. Initialisms.In forms with -o- in the second element, the -o- is intended to represent /ɑ/ (compare the U.S. pronunciation of cock n.¹). In the form alter kucker, the -u- is intended to represent /ʌ/, not /ʊ/. Forms without the final -r in the first element either reflect a non-rhotic English pronunciation, or misapprehension of the Yiddish etymon by English-speakers (since the Yiddish form with preceding masculine definite article is der alter kaker).

Chiefly U.S. slang.

In Jewish usage, a mildly pejorative term for: an elderly man. Abbreviated AK n. at A n. Initialisms.
