In Australia when a car is pulled over by the police for being unroadworthy a defect notice is given and a large yellow sign (canary) is stuck to the front windscreen.
Being given a defect notice is thus referred to as 'being canaried'.
I got canaried on the way home because my car is a mobile disaster area. The cop was a total babe though so it wasn't all bad.
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.
Looks dangerous in there, let the canary go first.

-These people projects a sense of self that makes others think, "Boy, I would feel so bad if the little guy were to get hurt."
-Often confused as homosexuals, they are usually sensitive and MAY have some feminine mannerisms, though this is not the case with all.
-Taken from the movie, "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist." Michael Cera is the "King Canary"(KC for short).
Example 1:
Al: So, Brian was looking for you.
Bill: Who?
Al: That guy, Brian. He hangs out with us all the time.
Bill: I have no clue who you're talking about.
Al: He's that Canary who loves to draw.
Bill: OOoooh. Ok.
Example 2:
Al: As he walked by, he told me, "F*** off."
Bill: :O
Al: If he weren't such a Canary, I would have lunged at him.
Bill: Who knew that such a Canary had it in him.
