Cantonese is one of the languages spoken in China. It is not a dialect of the invented "Chinese language". It is a language itself, such as Mandarin. The only difference is that Mandarin is the official one, and Cantonese is not.

Get the Cantonese mug.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.

Example of Cantoning:

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."

Get the CalZona mug.A shit hole.
A 'Well built' School that floods when it rains.
Falls when its windy.
And roasts when its hot.
The walls fall through.
The corridors are to small.
The lights get smashed.
And the headting dosent work.
The Head is a twat.
And the deputys need to take over.
Staff are idiots who cant teach.
And The students are the only good thing.
