It's in the can

It is an outdated british slang phrase meaning "it is ready" or "it will be happen". It comes from old film industry slang, when the film was ready to be released.

Journalist: This movie took so long that it was almost forgotten...
Film director: Everybody made an excellent job, the film is in the can.

Over done and over used to the point of being old, predictable, tiresome, cliche.

Sci-fi is so canned, I can tell exactly what's going to happen before it happens.

canning

That night when everyone has their garbage out at the end of their drive-way to be picked up in the morning and some jack-ass goes and knocks over every trash can on one street or more.

neighbor 1: Dude, what happened to the garbage cans on our street?

neighbor 2: It's the new rage, called canning. Looks like they hit up our street quite well.
