I wish I could come up with a reason for using 'cant' per Miriam Webster < eleven definitions for cant> here's number six:

Main Entry: 6cant
Function: noun
1 : affected singsong or whining speech
2 a : the private language of the underworld b obsolete : the phraseology peculiar to a religious class or sect c : JARGON 2
3 : a set or stock phrase
4 : the expression or repetition of conventional or trite opinions or sentiments; especially : the insincere use of pious words

but I am too honest and Bemildred would never go for me calling that thread starter insincere, trite, repititious or using obsolete underworld jargon...hey wait a minute......nope can't do it, repeat I just can't.......O8)
