a purse thread :)

Same here Dana. If someone said they got a new purse, I'd be thinking about the thing they carry their money in.

If they said they got a new handbag, I'd be imagining the things people are talking about in this thread.

Oh and glatt, tell you're daughter she's so not cool. Doesn't she know that if a man doesn't carry a manbag these days he's no-one?

Oh, she's too young to be teasing me about carrying a purse. She really, honestly thought I had a purse. That's why it stung so much.

This is one of those things where I've been force to be bilingual. I never used purses in the UK (always wallets) so I feel stupidly girly calling it a purse. But if I say handbag, there seems to be only a 50/50 chance they'll know what I mean, so purse it is.
