I believed that women carried hambagsObviously when I was young, I misheard "handbag", which isn't surprising considering the average Belfast accent.
I never questioned the name "hambag", or even why they weren't made of ham because they were boring things only girls used. I just thought that's what they were called and that was that.
Nobody ever picked up on it when I said the word "hambag", on account of me having the very same accent that messed me up in the first place.
That is, until I was an embarrassing age doing a GCSE German exam where you had to listen to the word in German, then write down the English word.
That happened 10 years ago and people still remind me of it. Dicks.

Reminds me I used to think that all Hamburgers were made of ham.(
