material manifestation of excess
going to dump is like going to church
unless u got a trashman, then he might be like a wandering deacon

well i was taking out the trash this morning when suddenly it hit me: what is the difference between trash and garbage? I mean, is there a difference at all?

Assuming there isn't, which do you prefer?

I prefer to say trash as it rolls off the tongue much easier IMO.

Simple, garbage you compost, trash you burn, everything else recycle!

I use mainly trash but also garbage. I use rubbish only figuratively (e.g. that's rubbish).
Refuse: I've never seen anyone use it, I never used it.

Trailer trash.

Ghetto garbage.

That's a pretty big difference IMO.

Looks like trash is more popular than garbage. :hmm:

You forgot "waste."

Hefty Waste Bags

Apparently, there is a big hang-up about using the word garbage.

It does sound kind of vulgar. :hmm:
