Jim, would you like fries with your McSalad?

"Rubbish" sounds kind of like "radish", doesn't it? Maybe that's why it sounds like a vegetable to Melissa.

"Rubbish" also sounds similar to "roughage", which is usually vegetables.

Pour mettre tout le monde d'accord, <rubbish> & <garbage> sont d'origine français tandis que <trash> est probablement scandinave.

Is "garbage" still used? Is the word used to mean "waste" or to mean "entrails"- as it did originally?

Melissa rubbish is not cabbage if you think it sounds almost alike.

Sil voo pleh, messier of crap. These guys are nuts when they talk too much excrement. Tim, Jim, Guest, and other nerds have nothing productive to do. Most of them just get fat sat on a seat and eating a pile of chips. Oh, God, these great crap teachers don't teach anything to learn. I don't even know what mothers brought them to this world, in other words, unknown critters.

I've read that historically before they had garbage disposals people had to take out waste in two piles, one for trash and the other for garbage (food waste).

Do the garbage disposal men wear GorBlimey trousers over there Spaceflight?

Non le mot *<garbage> n'existe pas en français moderne, à ma connaissance. En revanche l'ancien français <garbagere> désignait une personne chargée de plumer et vider la volaille.
