Caution
This is not caution. I am a university professor. It is not a particularly cautious act/behavior to write vaguely disgusting and diachronic definitions of angels, wolves and migration on a public dictionary site that anyone could read. I like writing my autobiography in the form of Urban Dictionary definitions. This is not, as I said, caution.
Example:
Writing intensely personal definitions of futurity, modernity, you name it, on a public dictionary site that you will have no access to once you press send. To do this without caution.

Caution
Caution Call
The act of calling your girlfriend (or anyone for that matter) and hanging up right away simply so it says "Missed Call from 'your name'".
Great in those many situations where you don't want to talk to a girl, but you want her to think you cared a little bit.

Example:
Dude A: "Crap I told that girl I would call her!"
Dude B: "No worries, caution call that!"
Dude A: "Thanks man, you just saved my romantic night featuring her black silk sheets and my erotic demeanor!"

Abundance of caution
This type of caution is typically practiced by institutions and larger private sector organisations seeking to minimise exposure to personal injury or similar legal claims but has during the early part of 2020 increasingly been adopted by individuals seeking to cover up their total panic on realising their previous publicly stated position on a matter of significant risk was riddled with hubris and incoherent bravado.
Example:
“...out of an abundance of caution, temperature checks are now being performed on any individuals who are in close contact with the President and Vice President...”

Caution Treatment
Using four-way caution lights in a vehicle in order to signal cars behind you to pass to get the privacy you need for road head.
Example:
Nikki: Baby, I'm not doing this now, there are like five cars behind us!
Stevie: Give me a minute, I'll just give them the caution treatment and we'll be set!
Nikki: Baby, I'm not doing this now, there are like five cars behind us!
Stevie: Give me a minute, I'll just give them the caution treatment and we'll be set!
caution flush
When you've taken such a massive dump that if you don't flush before you wipe your ass, you'll probably overflow the toilet
(similar to the courtesy flush)

Example:
Oh my god, I was so embarassed when I nearly overflowed my new boyfriends' toilet.
You should have used a caution flush
