    What if I remove the sticker (without tearing it somehow) and then reapply it with glue? Is it still a sticker?

      What if I make a small collection of larger twig-type tree detritus, and glue it to a surface?

      Note; is not the person who applies aforementioned adhesive label also a ‘sticker’ due to performance of said act?

        You are right about something. The one who sticks advertisements and earns money from this is called a derivative word from the word “Sticker”. In english it would be something like “Stickers boy”. I don’t know how to translate this any other way.

        That’s called art. And the person applying actual stickers is obviously a stickermaster.

      Interesting question. Typically, advertisers use cheap glue, which makes it impossible to carefully peel off the advertisement. The paper will definitely tear. However, if the paper has a polyethylene base and a special type of glue is used, then I think such an advertisement can be peeled off and called a sticker.
      I just haven’t heard of anyone peeling off advertisements and sticking them back.
