Interesting. I have heard “running errands”. But I’ve never heard buying groceries being referred to as a “grocery run”.

(Then again, I mostly know English from the internet, so just because I never heard it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. If you don’t mind the question, which part of the world are you from?)

Edit: Never mind, turns out I was replying to someone who got banned from Lemmygrad for being annoying in a different thread. I’m still curious where that phrase is used, if anyone else wants to tell me.

Any independent confirmation? 25–32 seems like too high of a number, and Ukrainian sources are known to exaggerate. I don’t put it beyond them to do something like this, I just kinda doubt the number, especially when it’s reported by a .ua website.

Heh, so do I. :) And I just like the way “lemmy emm ell” sounds.
