GARBAGE ONLY
NO TRASH
Another puzzler for you. It’s like the sound of one hand clapping.

At least it doesn’t say no NOTHING!
Wow! you didn’t say FIRST! OMG FURRST!!!!!!!1!!!11!!111oneone!
Britney Spears, keep away!
That’s a great ‘point’!
dreadfully bad, but not work a clonk
What is your avatar? It kinda looks like Spewer…
It’s a zoom of a head from asdf movie.
While this did trike me as funny, I do not think it is completely senseless. Many people associate ‘trash’ and ‘garbage’ to mean the same thing, but a quick search of the terms on dictionary.com shows that ‘garbage’ can explicitly refer to “discarded animal and vegetable matter, as from a kitchen”.
In all honesty, this is already how I saw the two terms as different; I usually associate ‘trash’ with crumpled paper or empty bags. ‘Garbage’, to me, usually implies rotten/moldy food, or just food that is being thrown away.
Yup. I hate it when people do that.
You’re absolutely right. Garbage is stuff that can go down a garbage disposal.
When I was a kid, we had to have separate cans for garbage and trash. I don’t know why the collectors cared, but they did, and it was a huge hassle until my parents installed a garbage disposal.
We had the same set up when I was a kid–separate cans for trash and garbage, and then the trash men dumped them both into the back of the same trash truck. I remember opening the lid and seeing all the gross maggots and stuff in the garbage can. To this day I won’t eat rice because of it.
I suppose so, but they are more universally recognized as the same thing, so it’s a bit ridiculous that someone would either not know this or just try to completely blow it off.
Actually, I don’t consider either any different, and the only difference is the definition of garbage CAN include “discarded animal or vegetable matter…” Websters says that garbage CAN (but is not limited too) be defined as discarded vegetable matter. And wikipedia defines garbage as waste, which means trash.
This site never fails to be educational as well as pleasuring with strong funny; I never knew that there was any sort of distinction between the words, I always thought that they were just synonyms for “rubbish”.
Technically, they both are.
At least now if I ever visit the YouSay, I shall be able to dispose of my rubbish correctly without messing up somebody’s disposal system.
What, may I ask, is “trike”? And why is it funny?
Maybe it’s something between a thrill and a strike?
Being *whacked* for fun?!
See the “puny bondage” thread.
Ah…
What about rubbish, junk and refuse?
They are refused.
They are all sub-categories under the “trash” label.
What about crap, crud, or muck?
That can go to composting if animal.
It goes to to waste water treatment if it is human. If you find yourself down wind it is referred to as the turd farm.
Some women are called “trash”, some men are called “garbage”. Maybe this is a sign on the trailer park community trying to say this is a men’s club only, no women allowed.
reminds me of a joke my Shop teacher told me
“gum wrapper, banana peel, empty can….”
“hey, stop talking trash!”
painfully unfunny
Dreadfully bad.
Teachers’ jokes. 99% trash.
Moderated? *Moderated?* The following post was pinged for MODERATION? Ah, must be the reference to the great white whale, I shall fix that…
Oh, that’s brought back a week, an entire WEEK, that my Grade 3 teacher spent teaching us about limericks. We read limericks for A WEEK, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them was scrupulously inoffensive and UTTERLY UNAMUSING. (All that changed once we were charged with 1) finding a limerick from home, and 2) writing one ourselves. Poor Miss Nankervis – it was one filthy “Dad’s favourite limerick” after another, then my ‘Moby Richard’ inspired composition really gave her the wobblies.)
Do you remember enough to recite it here?
Oh yes – I had to repeat it for the headmaster, after I was sent to his office. (If you haven’t read Moby Richard by Melville, it won’t make much sense.)
There was an old man from Nantucket
Who said to his mate “Now, Starbuck, it
Would seem good to me
That we put out to sea,
We find that white whale, and I f#ck it”.
:loL:
Dang.
Careful, that’s a capital offense.
Yikes!
It must be hard to f#uck a whale.
Not if it’s white!
Like Moby D!ck the Sp3rm whale?
Yes. Most of them only like fish sticks.
That’s awesome!
In Japan there is a clear distinction between garbage (bio waste) and trash (paper/plastics).
It’s like that where I live too, but some people still have a problem with the differences. Car parts in the green waste bin? Yeesh!
You are allowed to dispose of rubbish in this bin, but please take your trailer-dwelling rednecks home with you.
* brings neighbor’s relatives over, drops them off, runs away really fast *
Honey, someone’s been stuffing their rednecks in the Bogan Bin again, call the council and complain, would you? I don’t know, that’s the third time this month…
Don’t you hate it when the bin smells of mullet?
Actually the reason it’s often separated is that a municipality will contract out to pig farmers who collect the garbage to feed their stock.
We have several bakeries and food production plants in town. There is one company that collects the production accidents, overstocks, and expired runs and blends it into truckloads of animal feed and delivers it to farms.
Yup. Trash goes in the bin, recycling in their baskets, garbage to the chickens! I remember once a friend of my kids put the fish scraps in the trash. I do not create a lot of trash, and only have one chance a week to get rid of it. That was a LONG week!
We had a crab and shellfish home cookout on a Friday in Florida with a Thursday trash pickup. It was angry with us by Tuesday.
Garbage is a good band. Definitely not trash!
I guess Larry the Cable Guy can’t get in.
The limerick has its own tense,
Refusing to sit on the fence.
It’s abrupt and direct
Giving zero respect
To those who can’t take its offence.
The sign just seems to amuse.
The dumpster, we tend to abuse.
But no garbage in the trash
can be turned into cash
after sorting for recycling reuse.
If mixing the two is a sin,
This post is a definite win,
Because now if I go
To the YouSay, I’ll know
Just what I should put in which bin.
Applause to both!!
No Trash
Garbage Only
Final Destination!
There is a big difference between trash and garbage.
faceslap
How big the difference is depends on where you live. Some places make a big deal about disposing of them separately, and others just dump it all together anyway. If you’ve always lived in the latter, then it’s understandable that you might be confused by the sign.
