an inability to can
What does it mean “to can”?Two uses spring to my mind: to discard material (as in “trashcan”); to declare work done (somehow from “film canister”).
It’s an internet-dialect neologism. Related to “I can’t” without any subsequent verb, evolved into “I have lost the ability to can” etc.
