All languages do, English is just a title holder
That’s a slightly different phenomenon called a mondegreen (Hendrix singing ‘scuse me while I kiss this guy’ etc)
Caco = shit (same as caca/kaka in many European languages
Daemon = background program that does things without user input
-iacal = suffix turning the above into an adjective

Try not to let the bot hurt your feelings, it was trained on cunts ‘n’ assholes
