I grew up in California near the bay area calling them weed whackers.
From the UK and in my region they are called Strimmers.
Oh, I like this.
I’m in a Great Lake State and we call it a “weed whacker”. Really send the “wh” sound like Hank Hill for comic effect.

This is the one I’m sticking with, especially since I’ve got non-string attachments for mine - little plastic blades that can cut down denser foliage and woody growth the string has a hard time with. At that point, it’s not a strong trimmer anymore.
Plus it’s the most fun to say
Oregon. I have only ever heard them called weed eaters.
Alabama here. Battery and mains powered ones are generally called weed eaters.
The gas powered ones are called a string of curses that would get me banned. Usually while trying to get them to crank. There’s a reason I went electric.
