A type of electronic dance music and a subgenre of house music characterized by upbeat tempo (120 – 130 BPM), singable lyrics, and a simple 4/4 time signature that was popular during the late 80s and early 90s, especially in gay dance clubs.
Frequently performed by female vocalists (Whitney Houston, Amber, Kristine W, Deborah Cox) and punctuated with dramatic "break downs" or "dropouts" (where the music builds to a frenetic high, drops off to virtual silence, only to build again), handbag house is also known as "happy house," or "diva house," (and, more derisively, as "plastic disco"). Declined in popularity as harder, less melodic music (aka "tweaker music") became de rigueur.
Name pokes fun at deliriously happy dancers waving their handbags—imaginary or not—in the air. Alternatively, it may refer to a group of club-goers dancing around their handbags thrown on the floor.

That last set was some of the best handbag house I've heard in eons. I’m dizzy from spinning around out there, waving my hands in the air. Grrrrl, I gotta go hydrate!

Get the become the size of a housemug. In residential land use planning, a development which consists entirely of small apartments intended to house no more than two people each. The logic presumably is that, while landlords are severely restricted in their ability to turn prospective tenants away for having bred like crack-addled rabbits, they are able to turn people away if housing them would mean overcrowding a rental unit... so conveniently there are no units available with space for you and your hellspawn.
Nominally, while regulations vary between regions, the only opportunity for a slumlord to expressly declare a residential development "adults only" often is to force everything 55+ as a retirement or seniors' home. Vasectomy housing avoids the issue by building apartments small enough that there's really no room for all of these extra little people. While they won't say so publicly, local councils are well aware that building this sort of development means less burden on schools, playgrounds or other infrastructure.

Get the vasectomy housingmug. A health KHoach's dwelling. I write it with a KH as any KHoach teaching about the wellness house has a thick tongue and a lateral lisp. It involves physical health, psychological health, social health, mental health, and some other repetitive bullshit.
My KHoach taught us about the Wellness House today. Can someone explain what the fuck he was talking about?
