When I say delete, I want it gone - forever. On windows I can set it up
so that delete means delete. How do I do that with Ubuntu?
In Nautilus, go to Edit->Preferences, then select the Behaviour tab
and check 'Include a Delete command that bypasses the Wastebasket'.

And why does the documentation call it Trash, but the application calls
it wastebasket?
Maybe you're viewing American documentation? In American English it's
the Trash, in British English its the Wastebasket. There is a bug
filled regarding inconsistence of using both terms in GNOME, you can
have a look at it here:
