A question for Canadians: Do they really call garbage disposals garburators up there?

What else would you call them?

Oh yeah. I wish they were called crushinators and contained within the bodies of twelve foot robots, but you take what you can get.

Do presidents in the United States really say nook-u-lar?

I wish that, too. Boy, do I ever wish that. I would produce so much more garbage if that were the case, only so as to provide myself with more opportunities to use the crushinator.

I know! We should just invent the crushinator. It beats waiting.

Unfortunately. Big Pimpin' Willie didn't, but George does.

It is very painful for those of us who DO speak the English language in a dialect other than Texan.

... Probably it will frighten you to hear this, but I wasn't even aware that that was a Canadianism. I just thought it was, y'know, what they were called. Huh.
