"I couldn't find "cack" in my dictionary. And frankly, if you cannot preview your own title, you deserve to be smacked across the chops."

You're addressing the wrong person, for one.

You're going to smack someone across "the chops" for using slang here?

"You" is an interesting word, seeing that it can function as a third-person plural. Furthermore, "cack" is not in my slang dictionary, either. The closest match is:

cack-broad n. =cackle-broad. 1942: "I knocks de pad with them cack-broads up on Sugar Hill." Z. Hurston, 89. Cf. kack.1

So it's not slang. It's a typo in the title. Ergo, open-season.
