Some folks call them that in Phoenix, too. The first few times they said it, I had no idea what they were talking about.

I've heard them called buggies ever since I can remember. Shopping carts too. Maybe it is a southern thing.

That would be a "trolley" down in Aussie land. Not to be confused with their city rail system, which you would call a "tram."
Hummm...maybe I'm thinking a little too far south. - Anarki |

Many moons ago I was dating a lady who had moved from Van Wert, Ohio (raised in Cleveland, OSU grad). The first time we went to the store together, I told her I was going to get a buggy and she just cracked up..."a buggy!! hahaha, a buggy?!". I looked at her very stoicly and said, very dryly, yes a buggy. We also eat grits down here, get used to it. She got used to both. I call them carts or buggies, but especially buggies if a Yankee is with me just to get them going.
On another post, someone said something about Ohio women not being so hot. My experience with them, both down here and up there, is that most of them are pretty hot and downright horny. |

On "Law & Order" yesterday they called them buggies. Maybe the woman who said it wasn't a Yankee.

I grew up in south west Nebraska and we called them buggies or carts. But now that the subject has come up, I haven't heard them called buggies in the 12 years I've lived in western Colo.

They're "buggies" in southwest Virginia too.
My favorite is the local version of a lollipop: the "sucker". Having trouble adjusting to that one. |

I don't think I have ever heard anyone actually call it a lollipop. It's been a sucker for as long as I've been alive. The people at the bank give out tons of suckers everyday. |

In Northern Va I call them 'carts'.
A Coke is a generic cola. You put "tars" on your car. And when you drive thru the Manassas National Battlefield Park I expect a moment of silence! |

Quoted: While at a party last night someone had a stand-up comedy CD on. The guy kept calling shopping carts, "buggies". Is that their name down south? I'm from SC and now live in VA. I think I generally call them carts, but would know what you were talking about if you used "buggy". The terms are pretty much iterchangeable and your preference may have something to do with you family status. I doubt many people put their young in a "baby cart". Since they get used to calling the thing they push their baby around in, the term may be more likely to be used to describe the thing they push their groceries around in. |

The only time I ever hear the word 'lollipop' is when Rush Limbaugh plays his theme song for Rep. Barney ('I Wish I had a Dick Army') Frank (D-MA), which is 'My Boy Lollipop.'

You're not "about" to go do something, you're "fixin" to go do something.
What's a "pop"? Coyote is a Ki-oat. Ki as in Kite. Hog is Hawg, and you better not pronounce it differently. Dog is Dawg. Truck is Pickup. All right is A'ight. Large is Big 'Ol. We're fixin to go get Bill's big 'ol pickup and hunt us some ki-oats and hawgs. Did ya get the dawgs ned? uh-huh A'ight then. I got the cokes and potted meat, let's roll jelly. That's about all I can think of right now, and yeah, it's a buggy. |

Since we're onto this subject.
If you own a block of land with your house on it. Would you describe it as your "land" or "property", being a backwoods boy in Va it's just land to me. It always cracks me up to hear yankees and city slickers refer to it as "my property." I just instantly think that they're trying to sound all upity. Property would be more of a 'commercial property' type term to me. |

It's a yard. If you have over 5 acres, it becomes land.

I've seen parts of Texas where that statement would be very true, Ponyboy. Ever been to some of the areas outside Laredo? Miles and miles of the same fence bordering someone's property, uh land.
