brown bag
Packed meal's container
Brown bag refers to the plain paper bags used to pack lunches or conceal bottles.
To brown-bag is to bring your own lunch to work or school rather than buying it: I brown-bag it most days to save money.
A brown-bag lunch or brown-bag session is an informal meeting where attendees bring their own food.
Brown-bagging also means drinking alcohol from a bottle wrapped in a paper bag, often to skirt open-container laws.
