safacon
A trash can or wastebasket. The term is a phonetic adaptation of the English phrase 'save a can.' According to local tradition, during a metal shortage in the U.S., containers were labeled to 'save a can' for reuse, leading Dominicans to merge the words into one. (This specific origin story is a common cultural belief in the Dominican Republic).
safe a: safa, can: con.
