In a pinch - in a difficult situation when smh ideal is not available, as a substitute.

E.g.:
> You should use lime juice, but in a pinch lemon juice will work;

> Ah, this shade of lipstick will do in a pinch β€” that’s better than nothing;

> I’d trust her in a pinch;

> This music isn’t what I would’ve chosen, but it will do in a pinch.

To get canned more than tuna? 🍣

> Get canned actually means to be fired from your job.

> A can of tuna must be obvious!

See the joke? ;)

In a sentence could be used like this:

> Don’t steal from the company, you can get canned for this;
> You can get canned for being late so often.

It’s either photographic memory πŸ“Έ or common knowledge, isn’t it? ;)

Common knowledge - something that is generally and widely known; a fact that everyone knows
