I'd rather be bagged than sacked.

Good point.

You'd rather be dead than fired? "I bagged my deer" vs. "He was sacked yesterday" ... ???

No, "I bagged a husband who's quite a catch" vs "He was sacked yesterday."

I was thinking about lunch. Never took a bag lunch to school, ever.

A "brown bag" is something you carry groceries in, which makes those noon-time mini-seminars a little odd.

it's a grocery bag, and a sack of potatoes.


this one is surprisingly tricky.


Ooh, but i'd much rather hit the sack. So. Not so tricky.

Bags come and go, but I'm really attached to my sack.

I've been married for 25 years. My bag has got me by the sack.

To me they are completely different things, not different names for the same thing.

I'm a bag man. My wife, an Arkansas girl, says "sack."

I say "bag" but I have such a soft spot for "Sack"

Buy'em by the sack

You've been sacked

Klittity-Klak, get in my sack (Old fairy tale thingie)

You know, it wasn't until just now that I have two different definitions for those words. A "bag" is made of paper, and a "sack" is made of cloth. Huh. I might occasionally swap them, but that's the general rule, in my confused brain.

PS Where is "purse" on this list? :-)
