1. arms

with a four wheeled vehicle.

I can't stay in a store long enough to fill up a wheeled cart.

2. "Trolley" is British usage

:-)

[Mutley]

4. Guess that's why

only 25 of the Mer'kins surveyed said they use that word. :)

3. Shopping cart (nt)

5. Y'all know you're allowed to comment 'n' stuff, right?

:P

[Roon]

6. I hate that word for some reason.."buggy"

Buggy is what the grocery workers call them.

8. "Wagon" gets on my nerves

All I can think of when I hear it is this:

7. I heard a new one just the other day

A friend of mine calls it a "stroller". I had no idea what she was talking about.

9. Caht.

11. I'm with Caht

I chose grocery cart, but I just call it a cart.

I just say to someone, let's get a cart, so we don't have to carry all of this stuff.

10. Shopping cart.

:hi:

[mopinko]

12. carry them home, or in the store?

[Random_Australian]

13. Trolley, of course.

[Ediacara]

14. I just call it a cart

but if pressed, I guess I'd say shopping more than grocery. Buggy, wagon, and trolly are just silly appropriations of the names of other things that only remotely resemble a shopping cart.

[LSdemocrat]

15. Just cart, I wouldn't mentally note if someone added grocery or shopping

Then again I routinely shrug off most of these semi-regional verbal distinctions.

[Katina]

16. shopping cart of course

trolleys ride on tracks outside and carry PEOPLE, not food products. :D

[Fox Mulder]

17. I just call it a cart.

I don't even put the "shopping" or "grocery" in front of it. :shrug:

[Archae]

18. Ankle smasher.

[gemdem]

19. Depends

When I'm at the grocer's, it's a cart or grocery cart. When I'm at a department store, it's a cart or a shopping cart.

It's situational, I guess.

[Zomby Woof]

20. Beer wagon

[Floogeldy]

21. I do not call them anything, unless they are in terrible disrepair.

I am too busy to be involved in a conversation with another human being about such objects.

However, when I am attempting to use one that is in terrible disrepair, I may be tempted to call one of them "cocksucker" or "motherfucker."

22. I love the word "buggy" with the entirety of my sorry being,

but I call a shopping cart a shopping cart.

[deadparrot]

23. Shopping cart. nt

[El Fuego]

24. I had a boyfriend once who called them "buggies"

And I would laugh!!! :rofl:

Because everyone knows they are SHOPPING CARTS!
