When you say someone is castoning, that person goes through 20 differentnames before remembering the other person's actual name. Also right before they get it right they grunt loudly
One of the most insulting names that you can call a person.
The naming of a Dick Clittington is often followed by a round of applause for the user's tenacity in their choice of insult.
As it holds such monumental weight amongst insults, calling somebody Dick Clittington should only occur in the most extreme instances where other insults fall short of describing the gravity of that particular situation.
Besides the exalted and god like 'cock smoking thunder cunt' I can think of only one other insult that would gain such rapturous applause for its usage, 'Dick Clittington'
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!"
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."
