CANON FODDER /KAN in FAH dur/ noun: Ambulatory commuters who end up in tourists’ photos as they snap pictures of Grand Central Terminal with their digital cameras.
Usage: I was late for my 9 a.m. meeting, and ended up being Canon Fodder for some German tourists when I bolted in front of of them as they took a group picture in front of the Information kiosk in Grand Central.
fun thing I used to do while living in Italy for summers was to actually jump in the background of the pics or turn to face the camera person and give a huge smile/wave. The more foreign the tourist the more expressive I was. My hope was that i have made it into many housholds around the globe!
