"Auto" as in "automatically" or was that "self"? lol

Oh did you hear about the guy that could do that? He was on Howard Stern. He was really flexible (and elastic, too I suppose).

San Dimas Dan! I don’t know what got you to start this thread, But so far, I almost crapped myself laughing 3 times just getting to the bottom of it!!

On a less entertaining note: [Cant is an example of a cryptolect, a characteristic or secret language used only by members of a group, often used to conceal the meaning from those outside the group.

The original meaning of "cant" was a secret language supposedly used by rogues and vagabonds in Elizabethan England. (thus, and integral aspect of much of Shakespeare’s Plays. The low-life’s and bad guys and knaves will often use "Cant" phrases.) It was, and is a way of describing the vernacular of the criminal underworld. "Tony Soprano Speak."] So? What’s goin’ on my fine Cugine?

is an example of a , a characteristic or secret language used only by members of a group, often used to conceal the meaning from those outside the group.

Best Wishes- Dx

Dx, you are correct. In fact, in my gaming life, there was a secret langauge called "Thieves Cant" as a silent language of body movements.

I like the word can't in the right context: I can't get enough uh well I can't say what I mean but  it has to do with

the female anatomy.  I can't drink enough water.  given the right context - I can't is all right.

Nothing special brought to this point today just tired of peoples stupidity. I talk to alot of people and it amazes how much they will say they CANT will I know they CAN but would rather not because of laziness or lack of knowledge. On those little pet peeves of mine. Apparently my surgeons off CANT return phone calls for a damn, I called them Monday adn Tuesday and was promised a return call both days, still nothing. FYI another one is the word orientated, I know its not areal word but I hear it used alot and it drives me crazy. I will stop a conversation in its tracks just to point that out to people.
