Ha ha - I was trying to find something like that too Peter - well done you.
Mind you, it says our word 'purse', is a pocket book, but it is what we have our money in.
There were one or two other words, but can't remember off the top of my head now. Still, I think there are enough there to give a good enough idea.

I didnt see the word "lot" on there and I see ya'll use that word but Im not sure what it means
Depends in what content you mean, it either means something which is numerous i.e. There's a lot of cars on the road, or an item for sale at an auction.
