Okay, generally sports that don't involve ice or other cold things

Except for cold beverages (says the Southern-born Carolina Hurricanes fan.)

So here's something that came up tonight that made me think of this thread...

I was having dinner tonight with my bf (who's originally from TX) and a friend (who's from South Africa). My bf was making fun of me because I call a shopping cart a "carriage," and our South African friend said that he calls it a "trolley."

What say you, GCers? Cart? Carriage? Trolley? Buggy? etc.

What do people tend to call them in your neck of the woods?

It's a cart. My parents/grandparents occasionally called it a buggy.

Cart or buggy. We call them buggies all the time in Louisiana.

Uh, no. You got it backwards.

Having spent 20+ years in Fort Worth and almost 10 years in Dallas, I agree completely. And Dallas the city is rather bland.

Buggy. But now that I no longer live in Texas I do manage to work in "cart" every once in a while.
