    I always thought us up here in America’s hat called it garbage, and those guys down in Canada’s shorts called it trash.

    I’m 31 and just googled the difference. Ohh fiuuuuuuuuuuck!

      That is mostly how it works now; words change meaning. Nobody I know says ‘trash can’, it’s ‘garbage can’. But yeah, they originally meant different things
