beef canary

The person in a friend group that eats questionable food(such as foreign beef) first, while the other friends wait to see if the food is safe to eat.

Rob's a total beef canary for eating the lamb from that buffet. He's been on the shitter for hours.

Canary Day

A Canary Day is a colloquial expression for a day of immense slothfulness, rest, or otherwise inhibition to perform the daily duties and routine of ones life. Often it is associated with drug use, abnormal sleeping schedules, and containment in a closed space for the entirety or majority of the day.

"I just had a 'Canary Day' week. I was so stressed from last week's work that I just couldn't focus on anything this week!"

blue canary

Firefighter slang for a police officer at a fire or accident involving hazardous materials. Usualy it's because cops will approach the scene without any breathing apparatus or protective gear. When you see the cop keel over, call the mop and glow squad and get the hell out!

Oh shit! We got an officer down by the overturned truck carrying Benzene. Call Chemtrec!

the canary islands

The best islands in the world, theyre found off the coast of africa, and are filled with peacefull, civilised great Spaniards, but there are lots of buggered british chavs, so be warned.

"Hey, have you been to the Canary Islands? Its the best islands in the world! The brits wanted the island because their islands were already filthy with irishmen!"

"Yeah but now its filled with the worst British Tourists ever, especially the ones from the black country."

esky canary

The first fruit or vegetable that begins to go off in an esky, most commonly a piece of broccoli. With a piece of broccoli, this becomes apparent as it begins to go yellow and limp. It signifies the short-lived future and imminent demise of the other perishable items within the esky, much as the death of a canary in the mines warns the miners that immediate action must be taken if they wish to live.

Ah shit, the esky canary is going yellow! Better finish off those vegies before it's too late.

to put a yellow sticker on a windshield of a car to indicate that the car is unroadworthy. Australian English only

This car is a real disgrace. I really have no choice but to "slap a canary on it".

sea canary

The lone sperm that fertilizes a woman's egg and has a mating call much like that of the canary.
