The standard British and Australian term for what Americans call a breadbox — the container you keep on your kitchen counter to store bread and keep it fresh. It's such an everyday household item that it barely registers as slang at all; it's simply the default word used across the UK. Anyone who grew up in Britain knows exactly where the bread bin is and has probably been told to put something back in it. A small but telling example of how British and American English diverge on household vocabulary.
