Schrodinger's Trashcan

The place where things that are lost go. You may think something is in the back seat of your car, but when it turns out it isn't, and you can never find it again, it's in schrodinger's trashcan. Lost sunglasses, watches, socks, anything. -source: reallifecomics.com, Aug. 18, 2005

Holy Crap - if that's true this is like some sort of cosmic scratch disk! Instead of keeping track of a lot of useless information, whatever powers that be just toss the excess in here. That explains why so much stuff gets lost, seemingly forever. If something is unobserved for long enough, it's assumed to be safe for removal. This is Schrodinger's Trashcan!

Trashcan Man

Refers derogatively to Caucasian men who date Asian women. The phenomenon of this interracial coupling is that nearly always an obese or scrawny Caucasian man--who consistently rejected by his Causcasian female counterparts--is involved in a relationship with an equally unattractive, and often fobby, Asian woman. The white man, often a Japanophile, usually seeks for an Asian woman who fulfills the American stereotype of the meek, submissive, yielding Asian woman; she is an ideal fit as she is the only person who would date him and is also someone who would not post a threat to his fragile--often nerdy--manhood. The jest in the term is derived from the perception that these Caucasian men are often seen as Trashcan Men, in that they always pair up with the most unattractive Asian women, thereby clearing up the dating pool for Asian Men. Term of largely Southern Californian origin and usage, where there are significant Asian enclaves in the Los Angeles, Orange County, and Bay areas.

Trashcanistan

Slang for a military tour in Afghanistan. The term coined by Christian Bale's character in the movie "Harsh Times" (2005) which portrays an unstable ex-Army Ranger with a propensity for violence who returns home to south L.A.

Running and gunning, is that what the job's about sir? Sounds like Trashcanistan to me.

trashcanistan

Unlike the definition that cites these countries as being part of the middle east, anyone with a map knows that they are in fact Central Asian countries. Perhaps the fact that these people "hate America" is because of people like the previous definer who don't even know what part of the world they are located in. I am not pro-poor former Soviet Republic county either, but at least I know where they are located

Trashcanistan is in Central Asia, not the Middle East. Get a clue.

trashing

Going through dumpsters and/or trash cans looking for interesting stuff that was thrown out, like credit card carbons (when they were still used) personal or financial information about someone or a certain company, old computer parts, telephone manuals, etc...

I went trashing at Ma Bell and found out why red boxing works
