rite

Slang for "Shopping Cart" in the Philadelphia area. We have a grocery chain on the east coast called ShopRite. It's one of many chains, but some reason teenagers over Instagram started to call shopping carts, regardless of store, ShopRites. Then it was shortened to rite.

Put that potato jawn into the rite!
