Good point. If someone asked me what purse I was using I would say either ""I'm using"" or ""I'm taking.""

When I was growing up, I said "pocketbook", which is what my mom and grandmother always said. When I got a little older, my friends and I all said "purse".
For the several years, I have started saying "bag".
- although my closest friends and I say "purse" when we're out together, and we "carry" them! One of our group has a lot of designer "bags," and another one can't understand why we all make a big fuss over our "purses" (She carries the same black one from Target all of the time.)! At home, if I'm talking to one of my male family members, I tend to say, "Please hand me my pocketbook." Old habits die hard!

Yes! I carry my purse too, I would never say I wear it. The first (and only) place I've heard that term was on QVC. I asked a few friends if they carry or wear their purse, and they all said carry.
Yes, in Michigan we CARRY purses.
