Does anyone else call shopping carts "baskets"?

[MannyIsGod]

Man, I hate when people call soda "pop". Pop is what happens to a balloon, not what you drink.

[MannyIsGod]

I call them baskets sometimes. But I think most of the time I call them cart.

But I do say "put it in the basket" in regards to putting things in the cart.

[Spurminator]

I hate when people say "Coke" and mean something different. Used to drive me nuts working at the concession stand...

"I'd like a Coke please... gimme a Sprite." WTF?

Weird.


USER,

The only time ive heard the term binders, is at indy car races, drivers getting on the binders behind another guy.


That is weird.

That's kind of the norm around here. I didn't know what a 'rubber band' was until I went away to college. They've always been elastics to me.

I dunno about 'binders' though.

I know a lot of people from away don't understand the term 'dooryard.' Does anyone use that?
