What does "cain't" mean?

This word, generally pronounced cain', without the t, is the negative of "can" for those who habitually drop a stop at the end of a word if a consonant follows, as in southern American English. The vowel has to be shifted from a short a to a long a in order to make the distinction.

I cain't (cain') go to town tonight.

Cain't - meaning

"Cain't" is not the same as "can't." "Can't" as you know is a contraction for "cannot." Adding the "i" means that whatever cannot be done is WANTING to be done but is impossible to do so. It "ain't possible." and this is usually due to the circumstances surrounding it.

"Now, Milton. I just cain't get up in that water tower without the ladder."
"You're saying you don't know who took it, then ?"
"Exactly."
