This term has multiple uses. The first of these is a garbage can. The term can is used in this setting very commonly because the word can is in the name stupid. Another use of the word can is a shitter. If you don’t know what a shitter is, I’m sure you can infer from the name. Another common use of the term can is a can with beer inside, however the only time the term can is used is when the liquid inside the can is beer.
Eduardo- “Yo can you pass me a can real quick?”
