Semi-erroneous name for a command prompt in Windows.
Near as I can tell, it derives from DOS, where one would generally boot from their primary hard disk (invariably called the C Drive and be presented with a prompt that looked like "C:\>", indicating the drive they were on and their location in the directory tree.
Considered fairly obsolete, even amongst old DOS hats.

1: Notionally speaking, where you would wind up if you proceeded to dig a hole through the earth as to come out the other end. (This is mistaken, of course - starting from either coast of the US would put you in the middle of an ocean, as would starting about anywhere in China.) See china syndrome for a possible explanation to the origin.
2: Metaphor for where one can see if they have a clear view of a woman's genitalia - either due to the fact that she is wearing no clothing, or the clothing she is wearing is revealing what's underneath (due to transparency or just that it is ill fitting). Possibly originates by extension of sense 1.

A fancy-sounding yet affectionate name for a car that is even less functional than a hoopty. A car might be called this because "it rolls down one hill, and canardly get up the next".
Exact origin unknown, but it is a pun on Rolls Royce, a particular expensive make of motor vehicle, and "Canardly", I believe a make of small passenger aircraft.
