HR Canary

Someone who pushes past official limits in terms of expression and demeanor, serving to test the boundaries between what could nominally get one fired and what WILL get one fired. From the use of songbirds in mining, whose greater susceptibility to impure air causes them to expire first, serving as a warning to humans.

Coal Miner's Canary

A sexual act preformed by shoving a singing canary up your partner's ass. If it stops singing, cleaning may or may not be necessary.
"I was getting a little freaky last night, so I gave my girl the ol' coal miner's canary. The bird kept singing so I knew it was clean for me to go next."

Sending Down the Canary

That phenomenon when you're about do go down on a chick, but you don't know how much jizz is left after raw-dogging, so you send an exploratory finger down there. Just like sending down a canary in a coal mine to test for a hazardous cavern.
This chick wanted me to head downtown, but I thought there might still be a salty surprise left over from earlier, so I sent down the canary to make sure the coast was clear.

Hot Canary

In the act of the hot canary a cigarette lighter or any flaming implement is placed under the recipient male's testicles, whilst a blowjob is administered by the opposite party. The recipient flaps his arms imitating a bird throughout. This act has resulted in many sexual accidents, including in one case, baldness.
You know Ian? I've heard he likes to do the hot canary....
