[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3604676, member: 34175"] Patience young padawan, all shall be clear in time... But even in gest, its not a bad suggestion, so..... [B]TOP TEN WAYS TO ADD CANT TO YOUR SPEECH[/B] 10) If it sounds Cockney and you don't live in England, you've been watching too many movies. 9) The old 'Cold War cant" of the CIA agents in the 50s is always a good place to start 8) Make sure you end 9 when phrases that don't go together start popping up. (Mary had a little lamb...and they lived happily ever after... eeewwwww) 7) The conversation should sound natural 6) The odd prhase is ok, as long as its rare - Bitter roots for example. 5) Nobody talks about Fight Club 4) Song lyrics are a great starting place for young canters (cant and chant and shanty all share common roots) 3) Just quoting song lyrics in game will get you killed, usually by your own party. 2) No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! 1) If your friends look at at like you've grown another head after you say something in cant...you've arrived!
