Someone that you let go first to make sure it is safe. Used sometimes by video-gamers. For instance, when the canary gets killed, springs the trap, takes the fall etc, it will tell you where the dangers/enemies are. Origin: coal miners used to keep a canary in the mine, when it died they knew there was poison gas.

Get the the canary islands mug.One of the best islands in the world.
They're owned by Spain, and they're definitively somewhere to go if you wanna go to the beach every day
There's around 7 to 8 of them, and the biggest one is Tenerife!
Unfortunately during Summer prices to go there are high since demand, so try going in autumn or spring since most of the year it's mostly just summer!
(No, seasons don't really exist there)

Person 2: "And? How was it?"
Person 1: "It felt like I was back in summer! The beach was awesome and the rock beaches were the best!"

Get the look like the cat swallowed the canary mug.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.
