Word with Man or can
Answer:
TIN …
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue plays on two short phrases where "tin" follows either "man" or "can." "Tin man" is the classic character from The Wizard of Oz, while "tin can" is a simple term for a metal container. The answer is "TIN," which fits neatly after both words to form those familiar expressions.
