tipping the can

introducing small percentages of nitromethane into the fuel tank of a methanol burning race engine to increase its power output. this practice is against the rules of most sanctioning organizations in most racing classes. the exception being top fuel drag racing. in top fuel and top fuel funnycar nitromethane is used in very high percentages with only small amounts of methanol. nitromethane (ch3no2) mixes well with methanol but will not mix with gasoline unless a small percentage of acetone is added to the mix.
driver; "if I cant cut a light we will probably lose the next round because we have to race the number one qualifier".
crew cheif; "lets try tipping the can and hope no one can smell the nitro".
driver; "that is a stupid idea. I like racing here". or "good idea! did we bring any nitro?"

Can Hand

The feeling you get when you are craving an ice-cold beer. Your hand starts to tremble and forms the shape of a claw, suitable for picking up a can. The only way to overcome these trembles is to fill the empty space between your thumb and fingers with a cold one.
Alex: Help! (hand starts shaking)
Justin: Oh god Alex has a severe case of can hand.
Doug: Quick get him a beer.
(Justin places beer in Alex's hand)
Alex: Thanks that was a close one.

Jerry can

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".

Can Fu

He is the stupidest guy you'll ever meet. He's funny and disciplined, especially when it comes to the gym. He slacks sometimes and is almost always nonchalant about everything. He cares... but only if you matter to him :) He also lacks functioning brain cells but manages to pull the baddest bitch in the planet. His girlfriend is so beautiful and smart that she carries the brain cells for both of them in the relationship. In exchange for her good qualities, he showers her with unconditional love and affection (and yummy kisses too).
Can Fu is daddy <3
