We Can Do It!
A term used by contractors, fabricators or other people in any service industry which translates into: "We CAN'T do it -or- It won't be what we promised -or- We'll never get it done on time (if at all) -or- Once your deposit check clears, you won't see us again until you take us to small claims court".
This term is usually said quickly and excitedly 'WeCanDoIt!!!' ; and used throughout the United States, but is very prevalent in the Southern California region.
Example:
Customer: "I need this cabinet completed in two week's time."
SoCal Fabrication Company: "We Can Do It!!"

... 3 weeks later...

Customer: "How come you haven't returned my calls? Is my cabinet done yet?"
SoCal Fabrication Company: "Whoze this now?"
Customer: "John Smith, the guy whose check you cashed 10 minutes after we met 3 weeks ago. Is my cabinet done?"
SoCal Fabrication Company: "Oh ya, ya, ya... we're doing that next"
Customer: "urgggg"
SoCal Fabrication Company: “Dude chill! We Can Do It!”


can-do capitalism
A version of capitalism based on telling people what to buy and how to live in order to force them to behave in ways that solves climate change.

Often involves establishing rules around what people 'can do' and therefore what they 'cannot do'.

The concept was designed in Australia as an alternative to 'cannot-do' capitalism, where people were empowered to make their own choices as there were no rules proscribing what they could not do. Also related to laissez faire economics.
Example:
Scott Morrison says 'can-do capitalism' will solve climate change


Can Do Attitude
Initially synonymous with industrious, now defined as 'Willing to lie about what's feasible and what's not in order to gain a competitive edge.' See also 'Suck-up' and 'Shitty Implementation'.
Example:
Manager: 'Will the new system be able to deliver streamlined accountancy functionality in rigorously flexible capacity according to our shareholders' needs?
Sales rep: 'Yep.'
M: 'Will it synergise our block transfer mechanism and the coffee machine?'
S: 'Yep'.
M: 'Can it shit rainbows?'
S: 'Yep. Marshmallows too.'
M: 'I like it. I like your can do attitude. I like it because I want my computer to shit rainbows and YOU can do that.'
S: 'Yuuuup.'

2 weeks later there was a fire. Emergency services determined that it was caused by peeps melting into the CPUs of every computer in the office. 3 men died.
