You can call junk "junk" - elsewise, you'd have to call the landfill owner a
stuffman.  It was actually in reference to when you have stuff that is of
some value to you and someone else calls it junk.  I spent too many years in
that sort of life, so "junk" bacame a dirty word to me, unless it truly was
the kettle calling the pot junk.
