Talk:garbage pail

RFC discussion: June 2018
I think I have heard of the term, but it needs a regular format. DonnanZ (talk) 23:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)


 * As a kid in the late 80s early 90s I collected Garbage Pail Kids stickers (GPK): British English speakers are quite unlikely to call waste "garbage" or "trash" (it might be rubbish or junk). Yet I've never heard the phrase "garbage pail" outside of GPK stickers; definitely "garbage can" (doesn't make sense in British English because a can is a tin, a small metal cylinder with food inside)... oh well, ramble ramble, let's just say it's definitely not BrE. -- Oh, should have mentioned, "garbage pail kids" (for the 80s stickers) was a pun on the phrase "Cabbage Patch Kids" (a series of popular toys at the time): whether anyone called their actual rubbish dump a "garbage pail" is arguable.
