Jonathan relates:
>>>
The Bunkers always sounded real to me. My grandmother often talked about
"doing some marketing," though less often than "buying some groceries."
"Marketing" referred to grocery stores only.
<<<
Mine similarly: "do the marketing" [for groceries], never AFAIR "go
shopping". Specifically, my maternal grandmother, whom I lived with ca.
1957-1962. Born (ca. 1889) and raised in NYC, daughter of Russian-Jewish
immigrants.
