Thumb in the Can

A phrase used to describe the finality of a decision made by someone.

Once someone has made a decision and can not back out of it.

Derives from the immature act of sticking one's thumb in a can and attempting to pull it back out.

Jim: Why don't you just leave her?
Ted: I can't mate, I've got my thumb in the can now.

Wish I'd have said no to that promotion...now I've got my thumb in the can.

Dominican Trash Can

Generally, any where, this is the technique used by Dominicans, Mexicans, & and most Black people in which 1) they don’t give a fuck and 2) they just don’t seem to know any better due to no decency or civilized manners from their culture and or the way they were brought up. Usually coming from a ShitHoleCountry were this is a standard practice of just throwing your trash we’re ever the fuck you like. It does not matter if there is a trash can 5 feet away or if it’s their own front lawn this way of life ( known to taxpaying responsible citizens to be not appropriate ) is just the way it is in the hood normally driving down property values and causing decent people to leave these neighborhoods.

North Philly is one big Dominican trash can
