I've never heard booksack anywhere but here (and it's been discussed before) so I assume booksack is some LA/Miss thing


Maybe an LA thing. The people in MS act like they've never heard of the term.

You left out gym bag.

Bookbag and backpack are structurally different.

Never heard booksack once.

Whats the diff between rucksack and duffle bag?

Why do people look at me like I'm ancient when I say "booksack"?


I'm 34, have lived in several states across the country, and have never heard anyone say booksack. So you probably are ancient.

Because it seems a lot like ballsack, and old men are notorious for having low-hanging ballsacks.

We called it a Napsack when I was a kid. That was a long time ago.

Booksack, growing up in New Orleans that's what we called them.

Always been booksack and don't remember ever thinking twice or noticing anyone saying anything else. and I went to school every area south of i10 from Lafy east to the state line.


From mid 80's - late 90's
