In fighting sports, a tomato can is a fighter with low skills who is brought in to pad the record of more promising fighters and give them more ring experience. They are expected to lose. Most professional boxers of any note have dozens of wins in their early careers over tomato cans. The name is believed to come from the fact that tomato cans "leak" red fluid (blood) like a can of tomato sauce.
Bobby "the Fist" Punchalot looks pretty tough, but he's just a tomato can.
N. In a fight, someone who is terribly outmatched by their opponent, and gets beaten quite easily, with no glory going to the victor.
The president of the chess club was little more than a tomato can when he picked a fight with the captain of the wrestling team.

God, yeah, wow. There he goes again. Didja see it?
Hym "You see Piers Morgan had another Gender Studies Tomato-can on the show? God you guys are bad at that! You cannot defend your ideas at all. All the conservatives and/or conservative-adjacent media is doing is receding into solipsism and deflecting to the most absurd fringe of the people who accept of gender theory. Fuckin gender studies guy over there is like turtle on his back just floundering. You fuckin suck. You're not good at that. You're not good at defending any of your ideas. Your greatest champion is little squid-boy over there and he's not going to get the job done. He'll just ink poop, break even, and float away to bang pornstars. It's so much easier than you're making it look. I mean... Yeah, you're bad. Bad at the race stuff too.... Badbadbad..."
Oh? Is that supposed to be a hard hitting interview? That’s definitely you not being a narcissist who doesn’t like being challenged.
Hym “Here you are interviewing tomato cans and acting like the guy is actually challenging you I mean Jesus... You barely said anything! Do you believe in God? ‘I don’t like the question because we don’t know what the words mean’ Bullshit! If I asked you whether or not you believed the central locus of change was at the level of the individual, you would know what the words mean motherfucker. You have beliefs. Tomato can. Brought there explicitly to not win. To put on the facade of a challenging interview.”
The only people worth talking to
Hym “Yes, more yes-men and tomato-cans. That’ll be fun to watch. Hey what happened to the beetejuice rule? Where if I say something insulting 3 times you have to confront me? Mikhaila Peterson is a slut. Mikhaila Peterson is a slut. Mikhaila Peterson is a slut. There you go. And day now. Try and hurry up yeah, we’ll test your theory that I can’t do this in person.”
