Canon Event

Slang term originating from the movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In movie, a canon event is an experience that is shared by all Spider People across the multiverse. These events are what build the personalities and livelihoods of the Spiders, and deviating and/or preventing canon events from happening can have dire consequences, up to and including the destruction of their universe and multiverse.

In real life slang, a canon event is a life experience that is so universally shared that it might as well be fated to happen, part of your real life canon so to speak. Like in the movie, these events make people who they are and more often than not they will grow somehow from it. Fumbling your first crush is often said to be one of the first real life canon events, and deviating from that outcome could have dire consequences...
"I can't believe I just blew my last opportunity to ask her out, now I'll never be able to see her again."
"Its a canon event bro, it happens to all of us. Don't worry you'll get it with the next one."

Liz Canon

Liz Canons are one of a kind, and very hard to come by. They like to pet dogs and play volleyball. They also love starbucks and sing the national anthem better than any celebrity guest at the Super Bowl. The are really smart, tell great jokes, and are very nice to under and upper classmen alike. If you find yourself a Liz Canon, you are very very lucky.
