The difference between Garbage and Litter
When used as nouns, garbage means the bowels of an animal, whereas litter means a platform mounted on two shafts, or a more elaborate construction, designed to be carried by two (or more) people to transport one (in luxury models sometimes more) third person(s) or (occasionally in the elaborate version) a cargo, such as a religious idol.
When used as verbs, garbage means to eviscerate, whereas litter means to drop or throw trash without properly disposing of it (as discarding in public areas rather than trash receptacles).
