I have often heard “carry” so used in the NC Piedmont — years ago, when I was a young’un — and have heard old-timers use it in Southwest Virginia where I live now. “I carried Lizzy to trade at the K-mark.” “Carried” meaning drove and “to trade” meaning to shop.
From the time I learned to read, my grandmother’s use of K-Mark for K-Mart drove my crazy! I wanted to say Granma, that’s not the way to say it, but I was brought up to be polite and not correct my elders, so I just suffered in silence. Now I wish she was here to say it that way.
