Talk:dumpster diving

RFC discussion: March 2007–November 2010
The synonyms look regional; for example, "skip" is the UK (Commonwealth?) term for the Americanism "dumpster", so "skipping" is probably a UK (or Commonwealth) term. The regionality of these terms needs to be researched and suitable labels added. &mdash; Paul G 09:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Huh? Do we add labels in the synonyms section? DAVilla 07:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In Australia we use the word "skip" for the very large rubbish bins. I've never heard the verb "skipping" but I am familiar with the term "dumpster diving" but perhaps only from American sources/influence. I couldn't say "dumpster diving" is or isn't used in Australia but I can say that "dumpster" alone is not used there. It could be similar for the word "closet" which we don't used but we do used expressions such as "to come out of the closet" etc. &mdash; Hippietrail 00:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
