    Re: en_GB users, what should "Trash" be called?

    Has anyone suggested "Sack o' Crap"?
    If not, I'd like to

    or "Place to put files that are no longer wanted and are pending deletion"
    its nice and concise

    or the "Virtual toilet paper" folder?

    Sack o Crap sounds good. If that fails, which I'm sure it will, let's go for Rubbish Bin. It's more or less what us brits like to call it.

    the only things that have meaning to me are Trash and Deleted Items, and the latter is too wordy. 'Rubbish' is misleading

    It doesn't matter what anyone says now, it is staying as "Deleted Items", even if I do hate it.

    I kinda like Anthony's idea.. Instead of saying something is "deleted" you just say it was shitcanned.. That makes you feel good saying that.

    All joking aside, I believe it should be called "File 13" or "Deep 6", if either of those don't strike you.. I vote for Rubbish Bin, it'll be the first of it's kind in the computing world.

    Re: en_GB users, what should "Trash" be called?

    Not too bothered what it's called, but I think I've been used to "Trash" since SUSE 9.1. (That and recycle bin in Windows...)
    I'm happy with calling it "Trash". Short and to the point.

    On the other hand, whether or not it sounds more awkward than the alternatives, maybe "Deleted items folder" most accurately describes what it is?

    Also, I don't really use a real bin, or my actual recycling bin in the same way as you would the "Deleted items folder" anyway. I don't often pick things back out of the bin.

    EDIT: I vote Folder 101! That's brilliant!

    I'm a uk user - trash is fine for me.

    None of the double barrel names please - I want something short & easy to type. Trash is fine even though it's not a word really used in England we have all seen enough American TV to know what it is.

    I vote "Trash", with my second choice being "Wastebasket".

    "Rubbish Bin" has the most votes, but that sounds worse than anything!
