push-push1907

1907 Westm. Gaz. 13 Dec. 12/1 The only means of conveyance for travellers in this delightful part of India has been the ‘push-push’,..resembling a bathing-machine, which is impelled by relays of coolies.

1921 Rec. Home & Foreign Mission Wk. United Free Church Scotl. June 187/2 All rode wherever they went, or stayed at home, if they did not care to hire the ‘push-push’, an unwieldy machine like a long bathing-coach on four wheels, drawn and shoved by eight or ten men.

1942 National Geographic Mag. June 816 (caption) Push-and-pull coolies climb this steep city street at a rapid gait. They call their small rubber-tired carriage a pousse-pousse, or ‘push-push’.

1992 R. Long Under Baobab Tree 117 We have lately established ourselves as definitely upper-crust, by buying our own wheel-barrow. There are only about three of them—‘puss-puss,’ they're called—in the village.
