What is the origin of the term "bag whore" and how is it used?
"Bag whore" is a slang term that likely emerged in the late 20th–21st century, combining "bag" (typically designer handbags) with "whore" (used metaphorically to suggest excessive obsession or materialism) to describe a person, usually a woman, who is seen as overly fixated on handbags or material possessions. The term appears in informal speech, social commentary, and online discussions about consumer culture. It is derogatory, intended to mock or criticize materialism, and carries sexualized overtones due to the use of "whore," making it offensive in most contexts.
