So there are lots of things that are different in North Carolina than in the "deep South."
Today's example:
I've always called the thingamajig that holds money (and credit cards) a wallet. The contraption that holds the wallet (along with anything else that will fit) is a purse.
In Charlotte, my purse is called a pocketbook. In my mind, a wallet, if anything, should be called a pocketbook, because if it's actually small enough it can go in your pocket. My wallet (a massive clutch-sized Hobo) is no where near small enough for my pocket. However, I would not call a purse, especially one the size of mine, a pocketbook either.
So when I hear, "I love your pocketbook" and my wallet is no where in sight, I get confused. Massively. Then I remember where I am and that they mean my purse. Oh. Thanks.
