For interest sake, in Afrikaans,, Kant, phonetically pronounced the same as the English word Cunt.
Kant, in afrikaans is the same as "side".
This can confuse English speakers when they overhear Afrikaans people give directions.
And they get even more confused when the Afrikaans people mix the use on purpose.
A springbok Rugby player got in trouble recently, because he told another player to stay on his "side". The English player accused him of calling him a cunt. Hilarity ensued with people teasing the English player.
