grant money (GanS 8)

A delightful form of nutrition intended to assist the progress of the Revival of the Cornish language. As Kemyn is the Cornish language, this money is a priori intended to assist the progress of Kemyn. Hence, it is not fitting that any of the other degenerate forms of the language should receive any of this funding, which is why we've repeatedly banjaxed their applications to get any. There are two possible outcomes to such banjaxment:

(a) we get the money and they don't: fantastic! Puts us ahead of the pack.
Money = Power! … or
(b) nobody gets the money: still tantastic enough! Puts us ahead of the pack.
Dog in the manger = Power!

Our typical statement to the grant-awarding Sugar Daddies/Mammies has often gone a long way to getting us the desired outcome: —
"These Agan Tavas/Cussel an Tavaz Kernûak people are a bunch of troublemakers and devious, lying little shit-bags [thanks to Myngow Vras (op.cit) for this revelation! Ed.] who are not endorsed by the Official Bodies for the language, like the The Cornish Language Board."

And when you're 'the biggest frog in the puddle' [at least, in your own mind's eye. Ed.], it doesn't matter if the puddle shrinks, and most of the other frogs croak it: you're still biggest!
