A 20 liter (5.3 gallon), handled can meant for transporting gas and other liquids, formerly constructed of pressed steel.
Jerry cans were developed in Germany in the 1930s and were widely used by American troops in WWII. Troops would Jerry-rig up to five of these cans to their vehicles, enabling them to carry gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and/or water.
The term "Jerry" is a slang for the word "German".

an excessively powerful gun that has no real hunting purpose is often justified by being called a can shooter.
"what in the world are you gonna use that m-4 with a hundred round drum for?"
"well it's a can shooter obviously!!"
"wtf?"
"Afri-cans, Mexi-cans, Puerto ri-cans!!"
"stupid racist mall ninja"

Referring to one of Linguini Bros' written down lyrics. This basically means "candy," the "'dy" stands for the "dy" part that comes after can, and the "can'" part comes before the dy part.
This makes it so that the next line will rhyme, as this phrase was made for rap.
'Dy of the can' = candy

W4VEFORM: I won't hop in your van, it's not that I don't want the 'dy of the 'can, it's just that I know you don't be makin' bands.
Person in the van (kidnapper): 'Dy of the can'? What the fuck is that?
W4VEFORM: candy...
