What I do know is, women carry their purse in their handbag. </div></div>

Under no circumstance in the U.S. do we say carry a purse in a handbag.

I was not going to say anything, but you pounced like a wet cat running under the house. So Derek, which shoulder do you carry your handbag on? </div></div>

I didn't pounce on anything. I'm simply pointing out subtle differences in American English. Trousers/pants; braces/suspenders; purse/handbag.


I carry my laptop on my left.

Except I don't carry my sausage on my shoulder.

Yes, but I thought men carry wallets and women carry purses.

Derek, you're being disingenuous again.

For the record, in the US, we generally call the toting satchel where women store their stuff a purse or pocketbook. A handbag doesn't go on your shoulder but may contain a strap that allows you to carry it so it transforms into a shoulder bag. Still, purse covers it all.

Murse on the other hand is a man purse. So which shoulder do you carry murse on Derek?

Even though SandiF supported your point, you turned right around and stabbed her in the back.

You never heard of a women's wallet? I feel at least a little fortunate that even though I may not use a certain term, I'm flexible enough to know what it means.
