brown-baggers
Bring-your-own-meal workers
Brown-baggers are people who bring lunch from home in a brown paper bag rather than eating out.
The term sometimes carries connotations of frugality or practicality: The break room fills up with brown-baggers at noon.
In some contexts, brown-bagger refers to someone who drinks alcohol concealed in a paper bag, or to a person or thing considered plain or unremarkable.
