Cacooning 

when someone (usually a teen/young adult) is unsatisfied with their physical appearance and stays in their room for months working out/perfecting their appearance as to be comfortable with themselves in the public eye; only to emerge as someone who is completely different and (usually) more attractive and likeable. sometimes refered to as "the butterfly effect."
Wow, Bobby spent the whole winter Cacooning and he looks HOT!
The process of tying two cans (typically empty coffee cans) on either ends of a 50 foot long string, Then positioning two people, hidden on either side of a deserted road, the waiting for a car to drive by. When the car is about to cross the string, raise it up so the car catches the string in its suspension/bumper, and drags the cans along the road, creating sparks and noise. Proceed to run and hope it wasn't a cop that you canned.
We went canning last night, and we totally nailed a cop; he slammed on his brakes, and we had to book it out of there!

To walk around with crushed drinks cans on one's feet. This is achieved by laying an empty can on its side and treading on its centre so that it wraps around the foot.

More specifically (and often with a suffixed "it"), the word can be used to refer to travelling down skate ramps, half pipes etc using one's cans, as the smooth metal footwear provides an ideal surface for fast passage.
I got this massive scrape up my arm from going arse over tit while canning it in the skate park wrecked last night.
