What's Wrong With The Word "Dump"?
In my 70 years almost everything has changed.....Counties
have been renamed along with government sites and
job descriptions......No one works at the town "dump"
anymore.......They work in the "recycling center", "land-
fill" or "transfer station"....
I know that a "garbage man" became a "sanitary engineer"
years ago and that "secretaries" are now "administrative
assistants" or "coordinators"......But, I just love this new one....
"Loss prevention employee" in a home improvement store......
There goes "security guard".......And the pity is that the
job titles have changed but not the hourly wage......A "loss
prevention specialist" still makes the same as a "guard".....
Pumps.......
