I forgot about that word! ^_^
Hmmmm:
1.Monotonous talk filled with platitudes.
2.Hypocritically pious language.
3.The special vocabulary peculiar to the members of an underworld group; argot.
4.Whining speech, such as that used by beggars.
5.The special terminology understood among the members of a profession,
discipline, or class but obscure to the general population; jargon. See
Synonyms at dialect.
Did you also know that cant was Word of the Day on December 16, 1999?? Wow! -_^
