    "Harvey previously stood as a similar character, Lord Buckethead, but was forced to create a new character due to a dispute with the filmmaker Todd Durham, who owns the Buckethead character" [1].

    (The videos on this website are worth the watch. Hilarious, of course. But also...Binface conjugates Latin to Sky News, and not just as a bit. I don't know how I feel about the British comedy candidate outclassing half of the American elected leadership–and a good fraction of its industrial leadership–on IQ.)

    (In the US, his name would translate as Count Trash Can-Face or Count Garbage Can-Face.)

      Same in the UK. If you look at his pic, you’ll see it’s literal!

      "Bin," generally, isn't British English. We have recycling bins, for instance.

        Yes but in the USA a "bin" usually refers to a generic category of containers, often rectangular. A "recycling bin" is a specific kind of bin, and it's almost always qualified as such. If you called it a "bin" out of context people would be confused or think you're trying to be British or something.

        Eh? Most commonly uttered words in UK English: "Have you put the bins out?"
