Baggage or luggage?

[C P User 3]

Every airport I've ever seen uses the word "Baggage"

[Slacker007]

Kids and the wife are baggage. Dirty underwear is in the luggage.

And what about CLEAN underwear?

Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

According to Rincewind, Luggage can be dangerous.

Depends on your method of measuring. If you pay per letter, the shortest word is the best.

Depends on whether you prefer Barium or Lutetium.

How big and heavy is it? Luggage should by definition require lugging!

I'm smoking a shag[^]. How would you define that, member 9082365?

Aircraft: Baggage - as it has to carry bags versus Railroad: Luggage - where it has to lug along :-)

We don't really want to know :)

Luggage would refer to the actual suitcases, clickety[^]. You can buy luggage since it's the actual items. Luggage becomes baggage when you put stuff in it and use it to travel, clickety[^].

Yes, there is a subtle difference, but it's mainly one of usage. At the airport you have:

• a baggage allowance (maximum number of bags you can carry for free)
• a baggage claim (where you pick up your baggage after landing)
• a lost luggage office (where you complain when you can't find your bags)
• a left luggage area (where you can keep your bags instead of lugging them around before you check in)

When you go to a store to buy a suitcase, you go to the luggage department. /ravi

It would have to be a shaggage before it presented any problems, Shirley!

I, don't really want to know, either. :laugh:

You guys are just exposing your dirty laundry! :rolleyes:

Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.
