To utterly and totally destroy the punchline of a joke so as to make it completely devoid of any sort of humerous value. Often, the act of CantonING (the verb form) is funny, because the person who catoned the joke often is not aware they have done so.

This term comes from the town of Canton in Central Illinois where people have a tendancy, due to life in such a provincial area, to miss high-brow humor and explain simple jokes with what they see as...jokes.
"He totally Cantoned that joke."

Example of Cantoning:
person "A": "This room smells like 15 kinds of ass."
person "B": "Yeah, almost like 20 kinds of ass!"

Example 2:

Person "A": "What's green and flies?"
Person "B": "Superpickle!"
*laughter ensues*
Canton person: "Yeah, hahaha, or super green bell pepper."
*everyone pauses and stares, looking awkwardly at one another*
Canton person: "Sorry, I work at Hy-Vee."

Canton is one of the higher populated city in ohio and also one of the roughest. Poeople claim that its infested with "hicks" sorry people. All the amish and hillbillies left to go to places like dover and wooster. Whats really in canton is ofcourse the Pro Football Hall of Fame which everyone knows about and a few unheard of factories, not really important. downtown is shitty because most houses are boarded up and crack heads live there. There are also plenty of gangs and hearing about a shoting or robery isnt ever a shock or surprise. Canton has some of the ruddest people ever, but it also has some great people.
Welcome to canton aka lil detriot.

A city in Ohio in which every one thinks is scary, when the real truth it is full of dumb crackheads and hookers and is not threatening what so ever. Every one who "thinks" they are "hard" or "ghetto" claims to be from either Cleveland or Canton. Canton is not "ghetto" it is broke, no one there has any money, thats why it looks the way it does.
Boy #1. "Nigga im from Canton I run dis shit"

Boy #2. "Wow, im soo scared, that only means two things, 1) you dont know who your father is. and 2) your mother is a crack whore. So get the fuck out of here you brokedick peice of shit."

*Boy #1 walks away in shame.
