    As every sixth-form boy knows, when it comes to hiding something ugly, bags have their uses. Pity the poor girl who fails to meet the laughably high standards of the hairy Herberts in the playground holding out for, say, a Brightlingsea Britney, because she will be known as a "one bagger". Her marginally less-easy-on-the-eye friend might be a "two bagger", while the young Michelle McManus lookalike with a big voice, but an even bigger dress size, will be lucky to get away with as little as three. And as anyone who has ever walked into WHSmith knows, where teenage boys go, men’s magazines follow. Although not, of course, to the extent of putting ugly women in bags, which would, in many ways, be madness.

    "Look, your body isn't bad," he says, scanning me, pausing at the plate where my skirt barely covers six inches of my thighs. "Nice legs, and all. But you're like ... a two-bagger. Get real." A tear runs down my cheek before I even feel my eyes moisten, my heart twisting in a vice as new heat blooms on my cheeks. Even drunk, I know what he's saying. Once, at a football game, I heard two guys talk about how a girl was so ugly, if they wanted to sleep with her they'd have to put a bag over her head, and and one over theirs, too, just in case her bag fell off. She was a two-bagger.

    the whole picture is not complete without giving the three rating levels of the unfortunate date: 'One-bagger', 'Two-bagger', and 'Coyote Ugly'. [...] One-bagger describes someone so uncomely that they are made to wear a bag over their head so that you don't have to look at their face while copulating. Two-bagger describes a person who is so much more distasteful that not only do you require them to wear a bag over their head, but you don one yourself in case the bag over their head falls off.

    There is also the 'two bagger' which has a completely different meaning, and is considered by some to be very offensive and demeaning. A 'two bagger' is a sexual partner that is so ugly that a bag over the head is required and also a bag over your head in case your partner's falls off. Apologies if that offends, but it is a very common phrase here.

    there are a ton of variants on paper bags & brown bags—paperbagger, two-bagger, brown bag special, &c.—all referencing the idea that the person would be more appealing if they were wearing a paper bag over their head. The noun forms are much less common than the verbs, but some reference to the idea would certainly come into play if your immigrant is living in the US.

    I've heard of the paper bag for uglyness only in sexual contexts, as in "I would have sex with her only if you put a paper bag over her head." The meaning of the more general phrase you have quoted is "You're so ugly you have to put a paper bag over your head before your presence can be tolerated." Then of course there is the paper-bag scale of ugliness, which I have forgotten all the details of, something like: She's a two-bagger: To have sex with her you would not only put a bag over her head, but put one over your own as well, in case the bag on her head fell off. He's a three-bagger (oh, let's be inclusive): To have sex with him you would not only put a bag over his head and a bag over your own but also one over the room light in case it accidentally came on. She's a four-bagger: Not only a bag on him, her, and the light, but also the dog, in case the other three bags come off, so the dog won't attack. I don't remember any past that.

You know, a two-bagger -- someone so ugly that you need two bags -- one bag to put on their head and another one in case it blows off. Or a three-bagger... GEORGE: Two bags for them, and one bag for your head in case her two fall off.

    definitions of "bagger": Wikipedia says a bagger is one who puts groceries in a bag. Rodney Dangerfield used to say his wife was a two bagger. She was so ugly he put one bag over her head and one over his in case hers broke. In the motorcycle world most commonly understood to be any motorcycle with saddlebags. There are bagger websites and organizations and contests, So I guess my GS and my /6 both could be called "baggers".
