Reply to comment by dre235 in I was in the supermarket with the wife today when completely out of the blue she said "You know something? You really are a lazy bastard!" by SionGest

I was born and raised in Canada, and we call them carts, sometimes shopping carts.

Shopping Carts in Canada. But we are aware of countries outside our own so we are not confused if someone uses “buggy” or “trolley”

Shush with your Einkaufswagen ( I think that means something about vehicle). What does it mean, though?

It means shopping cart/trolley, sorry that translation isn‘t that spectacular

It's a fine translation, I just know the word "wagen" is normally something to do with vehicle, so it's fine idk I lost my train of thought.

„Wagen“ is slur for car, yes. Otherwise it‘s „Auto“ (short for „Automobil“)

Calling cars a slur is not something I thought I would ever be able to do in my lifetime.

Maybe I spelled it wrong, what I meant is: „Wagen“ is disparaging for „car“.

It's pretty much the same thing as a slur, in english, that is.
