I'm thinking "Brown bag" has a different meaning in the US.

When someone says "brown bag" here, they're either referring to leaving dog poop on your door, or someone so ugly they need a "bag to cover their head".

A "Brown bag" session would be regarded as a positive over here......
Huh

Your definitions apply over here as well. Corporations often seem determined to repurpose terms that make normal people snicker.

The corporate meaning here is "held during your lunch break, on your own time, food will not be provided."

We have worse in Frog Administration... Namely : The Education Nationale ( French Education Administration )

They use terms like apprendre à se déplacer dans un millieu aquatique standardisé profond.
( Literal translation : learn to move in a deep aquatic medium )

what it means ( once it's been translated for commoners ): learn to swim in a swimming pool.

And that's just one of the many pearls the administration managed to produce regarding what to teach and how to teach it.
Even most of the teacher at the operational end ( those that will have to put that in application ) are baffled by the formulation.
