Target speaks my language!
Jul 9, 2009
It's no secret that I love Target. Whenever I go home, I make sure to make at least one solo trip so I can try on heaps of clothes and check out the discounted dvds. Though some of my Target trips have a purpose, most are just because I am frickin in love with that place.
I recently stumbled upon a funny ad on their site, which only made me love them even more. Just last summer, I remember walking my dog Sabi and talking on my cell phone with a (Catholic) school friend. He was working in a furniture warehouse, so I asked him if he was responsible for "schlepping" things. He had no idea what I was talking about.
Though I know that the word "schlep" clearly has Jewish origins, I figured that most people were familiar with it. Apparently, he wasn't. But....the fantastic people at Target are:

That guy was totally out of the loop. Everyone other than him (a.k.a. me) knows the word schlep! Also, that bag was really cute.
He hadn't ever heard the word "schlepping?" He's just living under a rock!
Yup, I have to agree that "schlep" is fairly mainstream.
I love the tote!
I obsess over Target. The one is DC is so tough to get to; I adore going back to the 'burbs to splurge at Target.
that's pretty sheltered, i'd say. schlep is also just a fun word to use :)
