i just can't do it. :) or basket either for that matter. a shopping cart is shopping cart.

but i do call it going to the 'market' instead of going to the 'grocery store'.

what's your terminology?

    I call it the super market which makes my boyfriend laugh because he's always called it the grocery store.

    And ALL soda, whether it's Coca-Cola or Pepsi or Mt. Dew or Sprite or Mellow Yellow -- It's ALL called "Coke."

    it's a cart, at the grocery store.
    And soda is soda. And it's only Coke if it's actually COKE.

    It is so funny to hear other people’s terminology. I am convinced Alaska is the only state without an accent (Sarah Palin in no way represents us). We say shopping cart and soda, Coke is referring to a brand and pop just sounds funny. I though buggy was a British thing.

    Grocery store.
    Cart - my husband calls it a buggy - sometimes I think he does it just to annoy me.
    Soda - I live in NE Ohio - just about everyone calls it pop but my daughter hates that term so now she's got me calling it soda
    Coke is Coke.

    I'm a southern girl (GA born and raised)...it's a buggy and any type of soda is called a Coke (I do live where Coke was created, lol).

    I call it a cart. And the buy who brings them back in the store is the "CART-man!" said in Kyle's little brother Ike's voice.

    It's the grocery store, but usually I'm more specific and use the store's name. Wegman's (Also said like Ike), Shur-Save, or Price Chopper, but it's pronounced "Price Choppah" in an Arnold Schwartzenegger voice. As in the movie Predator, "Get to the choppah!" "Get to the Price Choppah!"

    I try to make the mundane tasks fun.

    yep its a buggy ..... and its all coke.... although i did learn to adjust to the term soda when i had to live in other states as the northwest just does not call it all coke (and you might actually get a coke instead of what you want) and pop just sounds wrong.

    My "grandma" says she "has to go make water" when she has to pee...very weird to me. And she calls water "tonic."

    Well, that's because very few of us are native to Alaska! (I, depending on the day have a North Dakotan accent, but piss me off and I sound like I'm from Texas, LOL), but I agree shopping cart and soda (although I will tell my kids to throw something in the "basket" when I hand them something in Fred Meyer.

    It's a grocery store and I call it a cart or basket. When I have the kids it's a cart and when it's just me or DH and I it's a basket.
