My Mom still calls the dustbin a "miskin" and the bin-collectors "miskin men". Is the word still in common use in Brum? I understand it's a really old term dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, being used to describe a dung-heap as early as the 900s. "Miskin men" were night-soil collectors - not a job I fancy!
Anybody still use it?
