Can you? Cards. Also formerly can-ye? Now Can you one? A ‘call’ at Long Whist; when one side has already scored eight (‘ten’ being the game), and a new hand is dealt, if a player on the winning side has two honours in his hand, he may thus ask his partner if he also has one, in which case, counting the majority of honours, they would score two and win.

1 1680.  Cotton, Compl. Gamester, in Singer, Hist. Cards, 338. If either side are at eight groats he hath the benefit of calling can-ye, if he hath two honours in his hand, and if the other answers one, the game is up, which is nine in all, but if he hath more than two he shews them, and then it is one and the same thing; but if he forgets to call after playing a trick, he loseth the advantage of can-ye for that deal.

2 1709.  Brit. Apollo, II. No. 36. 2/1. The first are 8 Groats, which is generally call’d Can-you, the last are 6 Groats, which is generally call’d long Can-you.
