Silly Chilean Spanish

A carro to me, being from the US and all, is a Mexican word for car.

Here in Santiago, this is a carro:
Also known as a metro train car. 

Or, same city, this is also a carro:
Also known as a grocery cart. 

Don't be confused. You can't board the carro at the grocery store. You can, but it won't take you home after a long day of work. But, at least you'll have more space to sit than you would on the other carro.

Confused? Welcome to Chilean Spanish.
