I like wheelie bin. It's the first time I hear the term. When I worked at McD's, the term was "castle bin". They had their own term for almost everything.

I like the homely-sounding name "wheelie bin" too. In the UK we already had the word "wheelie" in common use to describe doing one of these:-



Would that be called a "wheelie" in US and Canada, I wonder ?

Same pronunciation, different Wheeley:



If you look carefully at the photo, you can see me there in the crowd - I am the grey pixel near the back, one hundred and thirty-second from the left.

It is called a wheelie in Canada. I believe the correct syntax is "pop a wheelie".

I needed a chair for my new work-from-home desk and wanted another antique burgundy velvet Victorian piece to match he rest of my home decor. Most chairs I found ranged from $150 to $350, so I was thrilled to score this vintage piece in immaculate condition for only $25!

Fits in well with the surroundings. Hope it doesn't clash with the crown!
