I grew up in California near the bay area calling them weed whackers.

Same.
Canada, various provinces - either weed whacker or whipper-snipper.
Scott calls it a trimmer sometimes, but Scott’s a dick and we hate him.
Edit: Fuck you too, Scott.
Whipper Snipper here in Aus
Can’t tell if you’re taking the piss haha.
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.
Western Canada. Weed whacker.
Weedeater, weed whacker, or trimmer. In that order of descending use.
I almost always use the first one, weedeater.
My dad liked to use Weedeater as a sort of verb. To Weedeap. So he’d love to say he was going outside to weedeap the knee deep weeds.
decespugliatore (debusher) or tosaerba (grass shearing)
Whipper-Snipper (Australia)
That’s what we call our ankle-biters in the part of Canada I grew up in ^/s
Canada too. Also weed eater, even though that’s a brand name
If this were Facebook I would say this is a bot harvesting user locations for advertising profiles…
Germany, Rasentrimmer – grass trimmer.
Or “Motorsense” - motor(ized) scythe
Northeast US - weed whacker
Alabama here. Battery and mains powered ones are generally called weed eaters.
The gas powered ones are called a string of curses that would get me banned. Usually while trying to get them to crank. There’s a reason I went electric.
From the UK and in my region they are called Strimmers.
Weed whackers and weed eaters were used fairly interchangeably where I grew up in the US southwest and mountain west.
US south. Weed eater or weed whacker, but the second is much less common. It’s also the name of the thing you’re doing. You use the weed eater to go out weed eat the yard
weed whacker
This is the one I’m sticking with, especially since I’ve got non-string attachments for mine - little plastic blades that can cut down denser foliage and woody growth the string has a hard time with. At that point, it’s not a string trimmer anymore.
Plus it’s the most fun to say
