      I’m trying to spread that term here in the SE US. Everyone looks confused so I say “string trimmer”. “you mean weed eater?”

      That’s the predominant one in Canada too, at least in my experience.

      Goes with a Chipper Shredder (Woodchipper), sure there’s probably other things named the same way.
