What does tip mean to you guys? Tip is the name for rubbish dumps here, and not just slang, it's the actual name! I love this though because if you asked anyone in Australia "what word would you use to describe a messy room" tip would definitely be it.
I would use "tip" to refer to gratuity on a bill, the end of something like a finger or a pencil, or a like... piece of advice that would help someone do something. Nothing remotely trash-related! I can't think of what we even do call a trash dump other than a trash dump. But it's not even odd that you guys call it that, what's odd to me is that it's apparently so common and I have honestly never heard it before in my life. And I don't seem to be the only one! I feel like people are usually more... aware of slang like that, I don't know? I would never call my sneakers trainers, but if someone used that in a sentence I would totally know what it means.
