No because it's wrong.

It's one of the oldest words in human language still in use although the spelling has changed over the years. It's the word for a sack containing money.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

The original laptop was called as such because it fit nearly on top of your suit lap el.

Of course the designs of both suits and computers have changed so much the past millennium, no one would know.

It's funny how those artifacts of speech still exist. We still say "hang up the phone" despite most phones using a touch screen

Okay, but why is it called a handbag? Is it supposed to carry hands?
I know it might be wrong, but I'm in love with Stacy's dong

Shouting out "I don't know you!!! That's my handbag!!!" before you kick someone in the nads doesn't have as nice a ring to it.
Save for your doomed future
