Is a Sporran the same thing as a purse or fanny pack?

The white thing hanging around the waist, is the Sporran, not the white shirt you moron

Some people are so dumb, that you have to kick them in the head for their brain to start working

Talk about kick starting

The Sporran serves as a wallet and container for any other necessary personal items. It is essentially a survival of the common European medieval belt-pouch, succeeded by pockets.

Thank you for MHG!

Functionally, yes; the word translates as "purse". They're not attached to kilts, though; they're worn over them, usually hung off of belts. Kilts, remember, have no pockets.

Kinda looks like one to me.

Thanks for a MHO.

Historically, women and men wore pouches like that on their belts as a mean to carry things since there were no pockets.
