What the heck do you call this thing? I grew up working in a grocery store, and we always called it a "Two-wheeler."
What do you call it? I can't find it in the dictionary.

Has that anything to do with a trolley dolly? In England, the tarted up bird that pushes the trolley on a train/plane caked in makeup was called the dolly. |

It can be called a trolley or a handcart or a hand truck or a dolly.
Unfortunately all of those words are also used for things which can be very different. For example, a trolley can be a streetcar. But that is the nature of language. |

| Hand truck or Hand cart. It's not a dolly nor a trolley. |

 Everyone I've known back home had been using the word "dolly" wrong. Thank you for setting us all straight. There isn't more than one kind of dolly. No, that's impossible. I will write my dad, my summer job employer at the carpet dealership, the 7-Elevens I delivered soda pop to, oh and so many others. Excuse me, I have many people to inform. |

Thanks. I'm trying to move my treadmill out of my office, and I'd like to borrow a "hand truck dolley trolley" from my uni, if they have one. I didn't know how to ask for it!
Costco sells 'em for 70,000 won. |

It's a way of dodging work. If a boss tells you to get one you say
"A WHAT? Never heard of it. Whats it look like?" |
