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?"

Schrödinger's Can

A beverage can that has been open for days and may or may not have a bug in it. You can't see into the can to get a clear answer, therefore the can simultaneously does and doesn't have a bug in it until you pour out the whole thing and see for yourself.
"I wouldn't drink that, man. It's been out for a while. It's a real Schrödinger's can at this point."

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.

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
