brown-bag
Bring your own
Brown-bag works as both verb and adjective, referring to the practice of bringing one's own food or drink in a plain brown paper bag.
To brown-bag it means to bring lunch from home rather than buying it: I'm trying to save money, so I brown-bag it most days.
A brown-bag lunch or brown-bag session is an informal meeting, often at work, where attendees bring their own food.
In some contexts, brown-bagging refers to carrying alcohol in a paper bag, typically to conceal it in public where open containers are prohibited.
