(Seattle, Washington) Local officials have decided that the words "brown bag" and "citizen" are offensive. Consequently, the terms are officially deemed politically incorrect no-nos.

According to the Office of Civil Rights spokesman Elliott Bronstein:
"For a lot of particularly African American community members, the phrase brown bag does bring up associations with the past when a brown bag was actually used, I understand, to determine if people's skin color was light enough to allow admission to an event or to come into a party that was being held in a private home."
Also:
"A lot of people who live in Seattle aren't citizens, but they are residents," said Bronstein. "They are legal residents of the United States and they are residents of Seattle. They pay taxes and if we use a term like citizens in common use, then it doesn't include a lot of folks."
It's speculated that the Office of Civil Rights has decided not to rule on the at-home designation "tight-ass Liberal douche bag."

Different meaning between two coasts.

To those of us in Ohio, 'brown bag' as in 'brown bagging it today', meant we brought lunch from home and won't be going out to lunch.
