What are cans? For my entire life up to now (well, from when I first heard the slang, which I'm guessing was either a US sitcom where someone is being amusingly old-timey or on the internet) I have thought that cans were legs, but I read something that suggested that cans were in fact breasts. I cannot google as I am at work. I think I thought legs because you need a good sturdy leg, and cans are very sturdy. You can stand on top of them and they won't break! Cans as breasts would just be weird. Like a robot with bizarrely accurate geometric portions. A cone bra gone wrong.

I am certain I don't have cholera, as apart from a little bottom trouble, which is not abnormal for me even when at home, I feel fine. BUT. The little bottom trouble is something to watch out for. I haven't had anything that might have given me cholera recently, except that I have been rinsing out my mooncup in non-filtered water from the tap, which originally comes from the Nile. Can you get cholera through your vagina? NHS website only says that you get it through eating or drinking fecally-infected items. But you can absorb cocaine through your vagina, so maybe also cholera? I don't think I have cholera. I am just wondering in case I do, you understand.

ALSO cans are headphones. So the cameraperson filming the can on the can (with optional cans) in order to put it in the can might be WEARING cans.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS! There are at LEAST (consults OED) 171k words in the English language. Surely more of them than simply can could be employed for slang?
