Käkäs is a term that can refer to several distinct things, primarily in spoken Swedish and in specific regional contexts. The most common usage is as a colloquial or slang term for "food." This usage is informal and generally understood in casual conversation.

Another meaning of käkäs relates to a specific type of fishing lure. In this context, it describes a small, often brightly colored lure designed to imitate an insect or small aquatic creature, used to attract fish. These lures are typically employed in freshwater fishing.

The word käkäs can also, less commonly, be used to describe a particular style of knitting or crocheting, referring to a dense, intricate stitch pattern. This usage is much more niche and less widely recognized than its culinary or fishing-related meanings.

The etymology of the word is not definitively established, but it is believed to have originated as a diminutive or altered form of existing Swedish words related to eating or small objects. The context in which the word is used is crucial for understanding which meaning is intended.
