Bar that

kwint's picture

Bar that[/b] is a Cant phrase meaning "shut up," or "don't talk about that." It's not considered terribly rude; it's quick, to the point, and often used as a warning.

"Those Githyanki weren't so tough. I don't know what the big deal about them is."

"Bar that, Phineas. The githzerai looks like he takes exception to your Screed."

The phrase is also a way of dismissing something that seems nonsensical.

"I heard the city of Union is wealthier than Sigil!"

"The Mercane Anthill? Bar that!"
