    The Dumpster Brothers? Their last fucking name was Dumpster? Wild that that was just a common last name with no connection to trash for centuries

      Wait until you learn about Thomas Crapper, who made major improvements to the modern toilet.

      It’s kind of indicative that the courts have bent to corporations on not generciding names for nearly 60 years. How long have dumpsters been so ubiquitous that no one even knew it was a brand? Very Berenstain Bears situation.

      I agree. If dump was a word before (I’ll have to check), then dumpster is a simple modification.
