Often the word "can" takes the place of "able." Can killed Able. Joke.

When people were imprisoned in the popes dungeon, they would say they were; in the belly of the beast, or, in the belly of the serpent, or, in the can. "In the can" is a term we still use today for people in jail.

Interesting, but,
Playing with words, in English that would not work, someone doing time are not usually said to be "In the tin", let alone other languages.
But nonetheless, interesting,
Like, "Conservative", closeminded, have a long shelf life until opened.
So, closeminded is secure until opened,
Openmindedness is not secure, short shelf life.
But there is no end to nonsense, Haha.

In America it is common for people to say "In the can," for being in jail.

Yes, I gather that,
Even so, even two neighbouring countries may have words though spelt the same and pronounced the same can mean the opposite to eachother.
Which in turn can get one in trouble in today,s PC mode,
Which is unfortunate, limiting freedom of speech,
So, what to do?

A fun observation, going to the vid I posted.
At the mention of "Richard the third", how many thought he meant something that he did not?
For example.

I saw only a part of it and found it boring. Perhaps others will be amused.

Origin of the word (Can)
The English word "Can" is from "Khan," which is Sanskrit for house. The first "can" was made from a snake hide into a knapsack, to carry food because it was water proof.

At least you thought it was boring,
Some take offence at just about anything,
It gladdens me to know that not everyone is like me,
for how awful that would it be.

I'm not angry. You need to get a bunch of clues and hang onto them, until you can figure what to do with them.

First now I understand what you are saying here,
First I read it as a snake hiding in a sack.
Something to take note of is, the body is also called a "serpents skin"
The body is referred to as a skin of a "snake" since it serves as a garment to the soul as the verse states, Job 10:11
