What do you say? I say "Buggies", but Chris says "Carts." A thing of much debate in our house. :)

What would you be referring to? A grocery cart? I think in most instances, though, I would say cart. Casey and I have these kind of language differences also. Because my dad always called his turn signal an "indicator" when I was growing up, that's what I used to call it also. After much teasing by Casey, I now call it a "blinker" like most other North Americans!
Have you ever heard anyone say something like "I thought I already had one in my grocery basket?" Just thought I'd throw another term in there...LOL It's all kinda like ordering a "hamburger, but cut the onions" at a hmbgr joint in the northeast and finding that you have "cut-up onions" on it when you bite into it! Ain't language great!?!

I call it a cart. When I think of buggies - I think of a horse and buggy. I don't know why. :)
It's a cart! And, all soda is called Coke... ALWAYS!!! :)
I asked Steve and we both say cart.
When I think of buggy, all I can think of is baby buggy.
cody and i argue whether it is a cart or a basket. I say basket, but he says a basket is something you carry in your hand, not push.
