Etymology:
Of Native American origin it describes the inability of a person to successfully walk through tall grass. Before colonization the great plains of North American were covered with large sections of tall grasses. Instead of going around acres of tall grass, people could walk straight through them.
The implication is that a capable adult is both tall enough to see above shoulder height tall grass and wise enough to navigate and form a path through tall grass that is above their head. Children and people that are not intelligent will get lost in the tall grass and need help to get out or even die.
Usually applied to a person, but could apply to a thing.
Similar to: If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen, shape up or ship out
1: transitive, present tense

b: Describing a person that is not intelligent enough to figure out something that others easily can.

Implying that the person being asked is not keeping up with the group or not able to handle the task they were given.

If a gacha game has a cn/jp version that is ahead from the global version it will have a "global/EN can't read" moment
It is said in communities especially in Arknights and it basically means that a global player misunderstands or misread the content in the cn/jp version and makes a drama out of it or when it comes out in the global version, players will not read it and may suffer the consequences.
Ishar-mla: Have you heard of another new permanent game mode in the cn version? Someone translated it and it is gonna be is3 with the is2 gamemode
Calcite: So they're replacing the permanent game mode called is2? Creator of this game is a dumbass because is2 is the best thing to come out. Let's stop playing is2 since it'll be replaced later

Can't have shit in is a phrase users say online, it has a US state after the "in" part (it varies with any state).
It originally started out after someone posted a picture of their house and their porch missing on Facebook captioning it with, "Opened the door 🚪 and fell I’m pissed 😤 Can’t have shit in Cincinnati mfs done stole my porch bra 😠". Someone then re-posted it and re-captioned it to ,"Someone stole my fucking porch . I opened my door an fell 🤦 ♂️ u can't have shit in Detroit". The "Can't have shit in" phrase spread like wildfire with it varying between US states/cities. It points to the fact that you can't have shit anywhere without some mf taking it even if it has the littlest value to it, it also points to the fact mfs will just steal the most obcure random thing.
