Get the Operation Iraqi Liberation mug.Pretentious, pompous, nonsensical and or empty language (especially while pandering to an audience).
I've had enough of your claptrap.

Get the claptrap mug.The "can" is an inferior fighter or player (often an unknown or one with a poor record) that is set against the favorite solely for the purpose of losing and making the latter look good. Comeback fights are often against cans.
I'm not going to bother watching the Crocop fight, he's up against some can and it's only going to last 30 seconds.
