Thieves' Cant

As per Wikipedia: Thieves' cant (also known as thieves' argot, rogues' cant, or peddler's French)1 is a cant, cryptolect, or argot which was formerly used by thieves, beggars, and hustlers of various kinds in Great Britain and to a lesser extent in other English-speaking countries. It is now mostly obsolete and used in literature and fantasy role-playing, although individual terms continue to be used in the criminal subcultures of Britain and the United States.

It was commonly believed that cant developed from Romany. Etymological research now suggests a substantial correlation between Romany words and cant, and equivalents, in many European languages. However, in England, Scotland, and Wales this does not apply. The Egyptians, as they were known, were a separate group from the standard vagabonds, and cant was fully developed within 50 years of their first arrival in England. Comparison of Romany words in the Winchester Confessions taken in 1616 with modern Welsh Romani show high commonality. This record also distinguished between Romany and Cant words and again the attributions of the words to the different categories is consistent with later records.

Me personally, i think it means YEE HAW PARTNER YEE HAVE YAWS YEE LAST YAAAAA!!!!

Criminal 1: “Ho sir, you’re clearly a f'reign'r. Wend readeth this cant so yond thee may knoweth how to maketh wage 'round h're”

Wandering Beggar: “what?”

“Skater” who cant kickflip

The lowest of the low. Absolute scumbags who have no life and should probably kill themselves. If your a “Skater” who can’t kickflip you probably hate yourself and it’s fully justified

Look it’s a “skater” who cant kickflip I bet his parents are dissapointed in him

cant touch me

When a person is so good its hard to believe and nobody can compare to them no matter how hard they try. Basically means "You'll never be as good as me." or when you cant touch someone, whether that be physically, emotionally, spiritually, and/or mentally. In general just means someone is THAT bitch/or nigga.

example:

Person 1- "You cant touch me!'
Person 2- *shakes head* "you right..."
