I like that our stupid steam conversations end up as smorg polls.

What the fuck is a Weed Eater?

It's called Weed Whacker.

"Housing" food is a normal one, man. I asked around after that debacle and people knew what I was talking about.

I'm going to ask around here to see if people know what that means. I don't think I've heard it being used over here.

But it's not eating anything. It's whacking at the weeds. So weed eater doesn't make any sense. But neither does house. That probably makes even less sense. I guess you can argue that you are "housing" the food in your stomach.

they are different name brands. not all weed whacking/eating utensils are actually weed whackers or weed eaters. those are trademarked catchy names to sell a product. that is all. it isn't an expression. it is like how everyone calls a fukin bandage a band aid.

Ohh I see. I guess I've never seen a weed eater brand then.

Or how people call tissues Kleenex.

technically they're trimmers.
I hear eater slightly more than whacker around here, so I'm kind of surprised that most of you never even heard of eater.

Okay, the verdict is in. No one out here says "house". They have no idea what it means.

Also, weed eaters is a southern thing.

Reading it on here was the first time I had ever seen it in that context in my life.

Yeah I also haven't ever heard "house" or "housing" used like that. I've also never heard Weed Eater. But there are differences like that everywhere.
