Truthfully, most Americans say rubbish and bin, especially in the south.
The preferred term is "trash"

Erm,,,,,
At the time when people left England to set up America those English words didn't have a U in them. We subsequently added a U. U is a recent addition to the English language - due to the influence of French on the English language.

I have no problem with the chips/crisps thing.
It just annoys me when they call it a hot dog, despite it not having a bun.
They do it with hamburgers too. They call ground beef "hamburger" despite whether or not it's formed into patties or possesses a bun.
Although, on the other hand, I hate the phrase "mince meat" and prefer "ground beef" because it describes it so much more accurately.

for some reason...
I don't like the term ground beef.
Stirs up images of grit and mud and decent meat being turned into a very fine paste rather than just being minced maintaining some recognisable texture.

But that's exactly what it is.
Ground beef is the most disgusting meat known to man. All the bacteria that would normally be seared off the surface during cooking is now folded deeply into it, causing food poisoning more frequently than any other food.

so it is exactly
beef that is ground ( and I would beg to differ there as it is rarely beef and more like some cow lips and a bag of sawdust ) yet it is not meat that is minced? Considering the meat goes through a mincing machine and I have a severe case of white winitis this morning you are doing your level best to confuse me.

A mincing machine might just as easily be called
a grinding machine.

Oh, and pork.

Cook it properly and you kill the becteria; I don't think I have ever eaten rare mince. Quite frankly the idea appals me.
