Etymology
- For the sense relating to unattractiveness, the insinuation is that one bag covering her face would not be adequate, but that a second one is needed, usually on the observer's head, sometimes specifically during sex. This was either originated or popularized in a joke by comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
