can

A versatile term that serves a dual purpose: it denotes both the modality for "ability" (as in "I can do that") and refers to a cylinder-shaped tin container used for packaging food and beverages. This duality makes "can" a handy word for both expressing capability and discussing everyday items.

beer can race

A casual, think flash mob of boats, sailboat race where all are welcome to enter. First one back in wins….bragging rights! Often the race is out toward some point/buoy/rock/etc for a set time, then you u-turn (wherever you are) and race back to finish at the starting line, so everyone has an even chance to come in first.

Can Baran

Can Baran is the coolest guy I have met in my life. He is so handsome and he is peaceful. He is also so smart and curious. If you are wondering how good he is, Harezmi found zero when he was calculating the mistakes Can did.

The church can save this country

All you have to do is whatever I say forever regardless of whether or not the direct or peripheral effect of doing that is bad and regardless of the outcome...
A muffin "The church can save this country!"

Hym "Then why is it not doing that?"

A muffin "Uh... Well, you're not doing what I say forever."

Hym "Right, but if you believe that then you should just be doing that anyway, right? Like, you could save the country... But you're not doing it so..."

A muffin "Withholding aid and resources as punishment for non-compliance is part of the religion I'm doing to you."

Hym "Yeah, ok, so it can't save the country... It's harming the country by withholding aid (arbitrarily) and you're offering to STOP DOING THE THING YOU'RE DOING... In exchange for forever-compliance?"

A muffin "Correct."

Hym "So, you're not saving the country. You're destroying the country until everyome does what you want?"

A muffin "Correct... BUT! I COULD be saving it instead... But I'm not going to unless you fuck your sister."
