it is not in the tin, relating to a question about something that was supposed to be in the tin, there are some ambiguities,(words that mean more than one thing) because it would also be defined by the rest of the question, like is it in yet, meaning you asked for something to be delivered but it is not in yet, there is of course some sexual connotations that would make the question clearer, if indeed the question was regarding this or a similar matter,

You have your grammar incorrect. The apostrophe's are placed where a word or letter are missing.
Therefore it should read:
'T (It) i'nt (isn't ...or is not) in (in) 'tin (the tin).
So please be careful of your grammar the next time you ask language questions.
