Carts or buggies?
Funny, I was going to post this tonight after another cart vs. buggy discussion with my wife, and I see another thread about shopping carts on here. I didn't want to hijack that one, so...
Do you call shopping carts buggies, baskets, or carts? My wife calls them buggies, as does her whole family down South. I say horses pull buggies. I never heard them called anything but carts before I met her. Is it regional or what?

Four for me, none for her. 
Anyone from the South want to chime in here? She says a girl she knows from Texas calls them buggies too. I wonder where that term originated as far as grocery carts go.
