The activity of looking through garbage to find useful items or food. Dumpster diving can be done anywhere there are dumpsters or garbage cans. Residential diving is usually done in a suburbs (but it's best done in rich neighborhoods). Retail diving is usually done at stores. Corporate diving, if I remember correctly, is done outside office buildings, and I can't remember what industrial diving is (use a search engine).
John: Last night I went dumpster diving.

John: Yeah, this CD player and a PS2 controller.
Bill: The things people throw away....

The act of eating out someone's ass. A synonym for tossing one's salad.

Actively searching through trash in commercial or residential dumpsters to find discarded but usable items; Proves fruitful at grocery stores and bakeries, where good food is often neatly thrown away when it merely approaches the sell-by date.
We figured it was dumb to spend money on bread when the local bakery throws out fresh loaves every evening, so we went dumpster diving after they closed and came out with a weeksworth of bread for free!

A game that can be described as garbage because its either a bad play or just a bad game in general. However, because of a few redeeming features it manages to get a few people to play it.

In search of treasure, you Google your ex and are sucked into a black hole of a tireless hunt through all of social media, emerging hours later with NOTHING BUT HOT GARBAGE and a defeated, lonely heart.
Don’t drink and dumpster dive; you’ll find out they’re either married or terrible and neither will make you feel better.

When you literally have found your mate or side piece in an act of desperation. You know this because the person is gross and you
Know better. Because they are a dirty, STD ridden whore and everyone knows it
