🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Garburator
In Canada, that noisy machine under the kitchen sink that grinds up food scraps is called a 'garburator.' In the US and elsewhere, it's typically known as a 'garbage disposal.' The term 'Garburator' was originally a brand name for a unit made by General Electric, but like 'Kleenex' or 'Zamboni,' it became the common term for the device itself across the country. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Invention
