How it's used
Using this term to describe a person is quite blunt and can be perceived as mocking or derogatory. While it literally refers to canned food, the metaphorical use is strictly colloquial and carries a strong sense of immaturity or lack of experience. It is rarely used in polite company and is mostly found in casual banter among peers.
Examples
He always claims that he is still a virgin.
