I'd have to say that I prefer "Rubbish Bin" to "Trash Can", but if
you're looking for something that people might find a little more
familiar, you might like to consider (please don't hit me now) using
"Recycle Bin".  Yes, that's what Windoze uses, but ex-Windoze users
will at least find it familiar and consistent.

I'd agree with keeping "cookie", though.  That one is definitely here
to stay (like it or not).

Come to think of it, I actually refer to certain types of biscuits
as cookies...  I think I need to watch less Americanized TV  :)
