This is old slang for a girl who is boring, unlikely to put out or unattractive. It's similar to calling someone a wallflower, party-pooper, wet blanket, killjoy, etc.
Post offices experimented with precancelled stamps in an effort to reduce work load. Supposedly these stamps would not have to go throught the cancellation machine and eliminate that step in processing. The city and state the stamp was sold in was printed on the face of the stamp. This also made it difficult if someone stole the stamps to resell them in another place.
When making a phone call, you may get a message cancelled message. This means something happened in the transmission of the message and it did not go through.

Stamps come in various forms mint (not used postally or any other way) mounted mint (when a person mounts the stamp on a hinge to store as part of a collection) or used through the post office. When a person generally a collector buys a stamp from a philatelic bureau he may ask for the stamp to be CTO (cancelled to order). So the post office will actually cancel the stamp with a post office cancel. This is done for two reasons a collector will collect stamps in this manner or they will collect the specific post office cancel. When the stamp is cancelled it will not be able to be used postally. Hope this helps
When you buy a stamp, you pre-pay for the delivery of the letter bearing the stamp. So that stamps are not re-used, and the Post Office cheated out of their few pennies, when a letter is mailed, the postage stamp is "cancelled" by an ink stamp across it, showing that it has now been used. The ink stamp is usually also a "post mark"- showing when and where the letter was mailed.

If they aren't cancelled how would we know they are a first issue page? If you mean a sheet of the Elvis Stamps, they can still be used for face value of postage. You might be able to sell the sheet for about twice the face value.
