To cancel something because of weather, even if the weather conditions aren't that severe.
Expression originated in a school district just outside Albany, NY called Ichabod Crane Central School District ,which would cancel school for snow, even if there were two flurries, or better yet, even if there was no snow.
Everybody in the Albany area wished they went to Ichabod Crane in the winter.

Well, even though it didn't rain, they went ahead and Ichabod Craned the picnic.
Well, there's a 20% chance of snow, so I guess we'll have to Ichabod Crane the road trip.

Get the Ichabod Cranemug. The theory that all cranes are derived from previous cranes. All cranes build subsequent cranes. However, this creates a contradiction. From where were the first cranes derived? This is where crane theory steps in. God created a certain number of initial natural cranes. These cranes were perfect. They can nowadays typically be found in remote areas where it would otherwise be impossible to build a crane from scratch. Cities emerged in their current locations because there was originally a high concentration of the original cranes there.
Clay: "Hey dude, check out that crane."
Brantley: "That one is kind of out there by itself...it must be one of the originals."
Clay: "Originals?!"
Brantley: "Yea, God built the first cranes - it's how all subsequent cranes were built. Haven't you ever heard of crane theory?"
Clay: "OIC."

Get the Gib-cranemug. Describing how you feel after eating too much. Wishing you did not have to move from the dinner table after stuffing your face and have a crane lift you to the couch. So full that you are breathing like a gold fish.

2. It took Bob a while to notice that Tony was cock craning behind him.
3. No-one in the polaroid photo could work out who the thin man cock craning behind them was.
