candor, canned or

Candor or candor ( one word ) means frank or open, as in speech or writing--
He seems brusque to some people, but I find his candor refreshing.
They'll resent an attempt to cover up the error, so candor is important.

Canned or or canned or ( two words ) means something preserved in a tin or a can ( canned ), as an alternative ( or )--
Did you want canned or frozen peas?
Should we buy canned or fresh tuna?

Now that you know that, you can say--
When asked if he wanted canned or dried beans, he replied with candor, "neither".
