Schrödinger's Garbage 

A piece of media—such as a movie, book, television series, or video game—characterized by such poor quality or ambiguous tone that it is difficult to discern whether it was created as a serious work or intended as a parody.
"I couldn't tell if that movie was meant to be a serious thriller or a spoof—it’s total Schrödinger's Garbage. Every scene leaves you wondering if the bad acting and bizarre plot twists were intentional or just a sign of terrible filmmaking."

Garbage Shakes 

Yummy frothy milkshakes containing donuts, pies, candy bars, fudge and other soy/high fructose corn syrup products to be consumed for celebratory purposes.

Jake: "I'll grab some brownies for the shake!"

garbage sale 

What a garage sale really is. It's where you sell your left over garbage for less than 20 dollars, unless you're a cheapskate.

Garbage Scooping Arms 

Originated from the television show "The Trailer Park Boys".

During "The Cheeseburger Picnic", Bubbles heads over to the “Convenients Store” and he somehow convinces Corey and Trevor to leave the store and come over to help Ricky and Julian. Ricky takes Trevor out to collect garbage, because as Bubbles explains, Trevor has huge alien garbage scooping arms.

Can be used to describe anyone with freakishly long arms.
Cheryl: "Hey, Brandon, you have alien garbage scooping arms. Hold them out, let me measure those freakish things."

Garbage Storms 

Freakish weather anomalies consisting of dust and rotting trash caught up in a wind vortex. Garbage storms are known to occur in Worcester, Massachusetts, as well as on Wal-Mart lots throughout the nation.
