Suburban male lawn obsession is not based on one’s race, color, religion, or national origin, which is probably why there are so many words for “lawn.”
My little bit of front yard (townhouse condo) is under a large maple tree. Very sparse. I bought a couple of big bags of that stuff for “problem spots” in your lawn and did the whole front yard with the stuff. While I was digging, several people stopped by to ask if I was working on my yard (this was years before the “Here’s your sign” comedian). I finally got tired of the stupid questions and started answering people that I was going to pour concrete in it and spray paint it green.
Two days later, I got a violation letter from the neighborhood architectural committee that I hadn’t filed for a permit to replace the grass with concrete…

I’ve chosen never to deal with a lawn. First, when I had one, I let it return to the wild. Then I decided living in an apartment was better. It is.

A neighbor remarked to me that he had never seen an obituary that remarked that the deceased had a weed free lawn. I’ve taken that to heart.

Got to say that 100 words for lawn isn’t limited to white males. It covers anyone who has a lawn and lovingly tends it.

57+74+7=138 which is over 100, even if Guy Carbonneau is oblivious to the Igloo school.

And almost all those words for “lawn” can not be repeated in polite company.
