Canary

That gay friend you introduce to your crush to see if they are gay or not; usually a gay man who is experienced getting the attention of "straight" men but not exclusively.

Jessica suspected Michael was keeping a secret, so she invited Juan to be her canary and give her insight on whether he was gay or not.

Canary

A person who makes you less 'you'. Someone who can calm you down, make you less angry and destructive, who reminds you that there is still lots of good and love left in the world.

I. e. Hughie is Butcher's Canary.

Person 1: Dude, did you see how Garret went from almost beating that guy up to laughing about it and hugging Emma in like thirty seconds?

Person 2: Yeah, she's his canary.

Canary in a coal mine

When you drink moonshine with a chicken wing as your chaser.

Barkeep, can I have a canary in a coal mine, and can you make it boneless?
