The Cornish conspiracy theory is claimed to be a long-running conspiracy by the English establishment to suppress Cornish people of their rights, identity and autonomy. It is claimed that the main reason why the Cornish are being denied recognition of their identity is to prevent any public debate or official enquiry into the constitutional status of Cornwall regarding the Duchy of Cornwall, sometimes referred to as the "Cornish Question". Historians point to the fact that in 1508 the 'Charter of Pardon' was granted by Henry VII to give Cornwall (Kernow) a legal right to its own Parliament and the 1858 Cornish Foreshore Case confirmed that the Duke of Cornwall is considered to be a quasi-sovereign within the Duchy of Cornwall territory (Kernow). In 1971 The Kilbrandon Report into the British constitution recommended that when referring to Cornwall official sources should cite the Duchy not the County and in 1977 Plaid Cymru MP Dafydd Wigley confirmed in Parliament that the Stannators right to veto Westminster legislation is still valid today.
'Ere, I reckon it's that there Cornish conspiracy theory again - what they doin' about that 50,000 petition for more autonomy, that there Cornish Census tick box, more money for a proper Cornish language and recognition as a proper indigenous ethnic group with the Council of Europe ? matter do 'ee ?

Much like Cornish Game Hens the Cornish Gay Men can be recognized by their puffed up chests.
The term is used to describe any homosexual male that over works their chest and shoulder muscles in the gym resulting in puffed up chest with slender "toothpick" legs to support his body.

Going to Gay Days was so obnoxious, everywhere you looked there were Cornish gay men, I'm amazed their legs could support their chest!

This phenomenon happens when the scrotum is pulled up and over the cock making it look like a skinned game hen.
During a rousing game of ball tricks, Gary defeated Keith's "Fruitbasket" by making a Cornish Game Hen.

A Cornish meat shower is when one finds them self in the situation of sexual relations with ones former teacher and mentor. One will push said tutor from a cliff side after luring them with promises of holiday cuddles and cream tea. Once cliff pushing has taken place the act of intercourse will occur between oneself and the willing participant.
