A paper bag is a container made of paper, used for carrying groceries, lunches, or other items.

The paper-bag test was a discriminatory practice comparing skin tone to a brown paper bag's color.

To paper-bag it is to drink alcohol in public with the bottle concealed in a paper bag, skirting open-container laws.

Someone who couldn't find their way out of a paper bag is hopelessly incompetent.
