As a noun, cant refers to insincere or hypocritical language, often used to express pious platitudes without genuine belief, or the specialized jargon of a particular group like thieves or professionals. In modern contexts, it's a handy term for calling out empty rhetoric in politics or marketing, adding a layer of skepticism to everyday discourse. As a verb, it means to tilt or slant something at an angle, commonly seen in engineering or construction.
