Why would you call a grocery cart a trolley? Trolleys carry people. A cart can carry anything. A buggy is southern slang but what we called it in Mississippi. Which is not accurate at all. But trolley is dumb. So is calling a truck a lorry. Wtf?

America tends to speak English the way that it was invented. Instead of fucking it up without even the excuse of moving across the Atlantic Ocean.
Seriously. American English tends to use Georgian or even pre-Georgian vocabulary instead of adopting the latest fashionable Victorian or Edwardian terminology.
