Reply to comment by Hellefiedboy 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
Born and raised in Switzerland and we call them Einkaufswagen

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.
