Microshaft is too invested in things like political correctness. If there were a MORE politically correct term than 'reycle bin' they would have used it. But hey, I wrote the 'toilet' trashcan for 3.x and I typically use the icons and name on later windows desktops. One of my requests during the '95 beta program was to be able to change the icons and name and MS actually DID things like that for the beta tests back then...

In Mate the default name is 'Trash'. Same things apply [icons, change name] except you might have to create a theme for the icons...

(my windows 7 box uses the toilet icons and a profane term for a toilet as the name)
