Junk
Junk is:
- A Chinese sailing vessel, see junk (sailing).
- Unwanted items in a physical sense, like junk cars. Because junk cars are a source for scrap metal spare parts, they're often sold to a junk yard, where they are typically stacked (or strewn) about a large enclosure, sometimes guarded by a "junkyard dog".
- Junk mail.
- Junk characters in electronic text can be caused by transmission errors (line noise) and often appear as groups of "strange" letters like punctuation or accented letters. A high percentage of letters outside the standard 26-letter English alphabet often indicates the presence of junk, thus leading to filtering strategies.
- The planet of Junk (Transformers) in the Transformers Fictional Universe is exactly that - a planet of junk.
- Heroin
