Calk was my fathers solution for everything, its like duct tape! Over the years I think my dad picked up on my annoyance for the use of calk and started to throw it out as a solution for every problem.

Dad: "just calk it"
Me: "the wiring is loose"
Dad: "just calk it"
Me: "the handrail lost a screw"
Dad: "just calk it"
Me: "the wheel of my car is making a funny noise"
Dad: "just calk it"
...and thus the hate of calk.
Seldom do people use painters calk correctly, regardless I still hate it!
