trolleyapology
/ˈtrɒli əˈpɒlədʒi/nounVerified NewAlso in: Wagenentschuldigung (Deutsch) · carrexcusa (Español) · caddexcuse (Français)
The full-body apology performed while steering a trolley past strangers in a narrow aisle.
The trolleyapology combines a smile, a shoulder turn, and the words "sorry — just — sorry" in one continuous motion. Mastery shows in the hips: the turn is anticipated, the wheel squeak is forgiven. In crowded hours the apology becomes a language, and the whole aisle speaks it fluently.
Etym. — trolley + apology — the bilingual courtesy of crowded shopping.
