  • Bachelor's Handbag

Etymology

From bachelor + -'s + handbag, apparently from the observation that single men would rather purchase the ready-to-eat poultry in a bag than cook it themselves.

Noun

bachelor's handbag (plural bachelor's handbags)

  1. (Australia, slang) A roast chicken sold in a disposable plastic carry bag with a handle.
    The Betoota Advocate (en) Betoota-isms, Pan Macmillan Australia, →ISBN: “Items such as the Bachelor’s Handbag, for example. To the casual observer, it’s just a roast chicken in a plastic bag from a supermarket. In our town, it’s an accessory. A status symbol.”
