Am I the only one who finds her attempt to be grammatically correct with her use of 'yall' amusing?

I say grocery store because the grocery part isn't actually a noun, its an adjective describing where you're going & in this case, that would be store. You wouldn't refer to a hardware store simply as 'going to the hardware' would you?
 
I am very sad and disappointed in y'all's lack of creativity in your every day lives and how you purposely waste precious superfluous words. You know there is a limit. Each person only has a set amount of words they are given for life. Once you use them you die. There is no need for the store and I care about you guys. DON'T WASTE YOUR WORDS!!!!!

Oh boy. Shouldn't you be about out of words by now?

Personally, I just say "the store". Short and to the point. :p

Oh, and you forgot the classic Louisiana term of "makin' groceries". I never did get used to that one.
 
I agree with fluffy on this one, I usually say "I'm going to the market." I've also been known to say "I'm going to the mart," but that generally means that I'm going to the local ethanol station for snacks or soft drinks.
 
Purple, maybe you should lock this thread before you embarrass yourself any further. ;)
 
Actually guys purple is right, both usings are correct if you look up Grocery in the dictionary.
 
... and the winner is "Grocery Store"! Well don't feel too bad, there were at least 3 other people that voted "Grocery" but thats the stuff I buy at the store... but oh wells haha.
 
ok I did some reasearch on your "friends" problem. When I say reasearch, I ment the urban dictionary.

Here are my findings:

grocery

A place you pretend to go to get food but really buy drugs in the parking lot.

A: Yo, I need some "green beans".
B: Meet me at the grocery dogg.. oh yeah 50 bucks.
