A while back, I saw a post — I don't remember on which social media platform — that made me wonder what the word was for the strip of green between the sidewalk and the street. A Google search gave me a link to Wikipedia, which, to my surprise, had dedicated an entire page to road verges, the phrase used to designate that strip of green, as public properties, their maintenance, their benefits, etc.
This morning, I couldn't remember the phrase, so I looked it up again. This time I happened to scroll a bit farther down the page and saw a section titled "Terminology"... and I just had to share it with all the word lovers out there:
