Simple question... What is the name that you use for the item pictured below?

Is it a Shopping Cart, a Buggy, or a Carriage? Please Vote lol

where is this question steming from

Down here in the south, what I would call a shopping cart is referred to as a "buggy" lol I just laugh every time I hear it and am curious to know if there are other terms used around the country. The thing I'm a little confused about down here is the fact that they call them "Buggy" but when you walk outside into the parking lot, the place you return them to once finished is called a "Cart Corral", "Cart Return", or something else that includes the word, "Cart" lol

well in flordia we call them shopping carts..

Flordia is just a bunch of retired people from up north lol *kidding* lol

But I am curious to know where the line is drawn. Like how far north do you go before people stop saying Buggies and start Calling them Shopping Carts. Might be something I investigate on my next trip up to Cincy lol

When I first moved down here People kept calling them Buggies. But now it seems since I left Target people call them Carts.

I don't understand the whole Buggy thing. I used to mess with people when they'd ask for a Buggy and say where did you park your Horse.

Shopping Cart, Shopping Cart, Shopping Cart.

Exactly! I'm not saying their wrong or anything in saying it, I just think it's funny since when someone says Buggy I associate it with a Horse or you put a baby in a buggy but even that I typically refer to as a stroller.

Its the South bro.. They are a bit loopy down here.

actually it is all of them, depends on its use.


when shopping its a shopping cart.


when riding it it its either a carriage or buggy.

typically it would be more fun to use it as a buggy.

I call them shopping carts, but I work with a guy from England and he calls them buggys or trolleys.

Well.. I have to be nice. lol

I still shake my head when people come into my store and they refuse the help from on of my female or black team members. It's even more funny when I tell them that I will not help them because they were disrespectful to one of my team members.

Shopping Carts FTW

I never heard of shopping carts being referred to as "buggys" when I lived in Clearwater, FL so I'm not sure if this is a "southern" thing or not.

we call them shopping carts here, once and a while someone will call it a buggy but not often

Lmao! I have never heard it called a buggy. Kinda like how I moved to MI from NY and call Pepsi "soda" while everyone here calls it "pop." I still get crap for it.

That "soda" "pop" crap happened to me between Pennsylvania and Ohio.

LOL as stated before, Florida is full of old northern people. Buggy is a southern thang, and cart return is the product of a professional corperation. It's a shopping cart. Until you hit southern virgnia, then it's a buggy LOL.

I use both interchangeably, However I mainly say "cart" or "shopping cart". For an example, "She crashed the cart into my Achilles tendon".. I've always associated "buggy" to be a more slang term.

shopping cart ftw... but i sometimes refer to it as "drunken fun on wheels"

I live in north Florida (tallahassee) and people who are around here call them buggies some times. Its weird, I get confused every time. So I guess you can draw the line around north Florida lol.

It comes from the south excluding Florida. It ends between Tenn and Kentucky and there are a few stragglers in southern Indiana. That's at least what I have noticed on my trips to the south.

As for the soda and pop thing...it's pop. What is it with people! I hope no one calls everything coke!

The Lee County Bumpkin Crowd calls them Buggies. Thats pretty far South Florida.

And It's SODA not Pop.. What the hell is a pop.

In Florida we put our soda in the shopping cart and continue shopping!

I call them "piece of sh!t" cause they never work properly.


But when they do work, cart FTW!

it seems that according to this map, most people call it pop

it must seem from that map that most people are country bumpkins what? they started out as fountain sodas poured out of soda fountians.... /thread on that subject.

yay for my county being an overwhelmingly SODA drinking county. i knew there was a reason we were the richest county in america.
