Handbag (n)
The bag in which to place one’s hands. This has forever been an accessory for a woman on a big night out, or just for a leisurely stroll around an ice capped mountain. Boris Glizter invented the handbag in 1749 as he was stumbling around the dark of his basement reaching around for a light switch. Unfortunately; he found a guillotine, his hand fell into a bag, and the term handbag was coined. Cannibals worldwide use handbags everyday for quick disposal, especially seeing the hands are the least meaty, and therefore most unwanted part of the body. Women worldwide use handbags for carrying items such as steak knives, rams and steering locks. In a recent poll Who Weekly readers have rated the new term “manbag” as ‘just plain unfunny’. Students across CSU have been lodging formal complaints after mysterious crumbs of turnip chips have been discovered in their handbags. Accusations have pointed the finger at stay at home dad Mark Latham, who in his diaries slagged off about his hate for turnip chips.

There is no way to describe how much I love this word, and the object that this word describes.
My cupboard is full of handbags. My Mary Poppins Handbag is a bit well known for carrying basically EVERYTHING (except for tissues... There is chocolate in there at the moment though!)
Looking forward to the next word (tonight!)
