I come from airdrie and we call it a carry code but I’ve heard people call it a co carry up in Cumbernauld. A piggy back and a backie but wondering what other names people use for this term. Even better if you know where the saying came from

I call it a carry code but have heard it called a co carry and piggy back is probably the more generic name for it.

Heard someone call it a bunkie once, that was a new one for me.

Piggyback: It started out in the sixteenth century as pick pack, carrying something on the back or shoulders.

Pick is a medieval version of pitch, so it meant a load that was pitched on to a person's back for carrying.

A little later, pickpack meant a ride on somebody's shoulders.

Carry coal bag was always what I grew up calling it, uncle was a coal man this is how they carried the coal bags swinging them up over their shoulders/sides onto their backs and then putting their hands down to grab the bottom of the bag and then carrying them on their backs so always made sense to call it that and still do to this day

Piggyback other people used but tbh never seen pigs cadging a lift perhaps frogs or monkeys etc but never seen a pig getting carried around by another one so this really never made sense to me !!!! Still doesn’t tbh

Backie is term for going two up on a bike where I come from and still use the term now you going airbags is sitting on the handlebars

I thought going airbags was a euphemism for burrying and my face in your chest and trying to hold my breath for as long as possible .

I think it is carrying someone on your back in which case its a piggy back. A backie is getting a lift of the back of a pushbike.
