wheelie bin

Rolling trash cart with a flip-open lid, often designed to be picked up and dumped by a robotic arm on a garbage truck.

Originally Australian, the term is spreading to the rest of the English-speaking world with adoption of the technology.

We had so much snow I couldn't roll my wheelie bin out to the curb.

ping

Brief email or other message, essentially just to ask "are you still out there?"

I sent Pedro a ping, but I don't think he's checking his hotmail account.
