Definition of murse in English English dictionary

a male nurse

As much as I resent the man purse, I resent just as much the author of the piece hijacking the term 'murse'. A 'murse' is, and always has been, a male nurse -- a much more useful shorthand, as I would bet there are 150 male nurses for every man purse actually carried by an American man. —.

a man's purse

in an episode of friends the character joey played by matt leblanc, carries the european men's handbag, lovingly called the 'murse' or man's purse by some. —.
