Motspur

(n.) The fourth wheel of a supermarket trolley which looks identical to the other three but renders the trolley completely uncontrollable.

I was caught out by the motspur on my trolley and knocked over a baked beans pyramid at the shops yesterday.

The wheel on a shopping cart that looks totally normal.....but when the trolley is loaded makes the whole thing uncontrollable.

Look that cart is motspurred

Motspur

The pesky fourth wheel on a shopping cart that refuses to cooperate with the other three.

The motspur wobbled erratically as she pushed the cart down the aisle.
