Canker for Dummies

Hey there! So "Canker" has a few different meanings, but I'll do my best to explain it in a way that's easy to understand. The first definition of canker is a small, open sore or ulcer, usually found in the mouth or on the skin. It's kind of like when you get a cut or a scrape, but instead of being on the outside of your body, it's on the inside.

Another way "canker" can be used is to describe something that causes corruption or decay. It's like when you have a piece of fruit that starts to go bad, and the bad part starts to spread to the rest of the fruit. That's a bit like what canker means when it's used in this way – something that's causing things to deteriorate or get worse.

So, in a nutshell, "canker" can mean a sore or ulcer, or something that's causing decay or corruption. I hope that helps make it a bit clearer! Let me know if you have any questions.
