A bit off-topic, but I found it kind of funny that words used to describe something in one country have a totally different meaning in another. "Trolley" is what I think of when I envision streetcars in San Francisco, not the little wheeled apparatus used to haul groceries.
Here, they are referred to with several words, depending on where you're from. "Cart" is the common term here. Down south, I've heard them called a "buggy", or a "basket". My ex-GF was from southern Texas, and I remember the first time we went shopping together, she asked if we should get a "basket", so I grabbed one of the little handheld things I refer to as baskets, and she looked at me like I was from another planet. She then went back and got a "cart", and pushed it along, still looking at me wierd. One other time when I was visiting a friend in Kentucky, we went to a Wal-Mart, and the greeter asked if "Y'all need a buggy?" in her thick southern drawl. I almost burst out laughing, but I've noticed myself calling them that now every time I go to Wal-Mart.
