I have lived in various cities throughout the US, and I have never heard anyone use "paper bag" to refer to all types of bags when shopping. If I went to the supermarket and asked for a paper bag and were given a plastic bag air max women celine outlet (or vice versa), I would assume that the person was pink nike air max not paying attention to what I was saying.
This type of extension air max ltd or generalization of the semantic domain is not unheard of,timberland boots australia, of course. For example,air jordans for sale, I can call any chalkboard a blackboard, regardless of its color.
However, I have seen no evidence of anything like this in regards to paper bags. if paper bags are celine bags sale available somewhere, then plastic bags are almost celine tote bag certain to be there too, but not the other way around).
Edit: It might also be worth adding that this could be a feature of the dialect of English in Kenya. Most Kenyans speak both English and Swahili,jordan retro 11, if not another local language. It is possible that the Swahili word for "paper bag" is also the general word for bag in Swahili, which caused this term to be used in their dialect of English as well. I am only speculating about this particular case, but this sort of thing certainly does happen in bilingual communities.
In the UK a paper bag is unambiguously† a bag made of paper. In supermarkets, shoppers and sales assistants usually refer to carrier bags or just bags. The ones provided free are usually made of plastic.
The home decorating trade sell wallpaper, sometimes this is not made of paper. For example: vinyl wallpaper. You can see that the word paper is not solely associated with thin sheets of dried crushed wood-pulp but can be used with similarly thin continuous sheets of buy celine bag material that gradually replaces, or supplements,jordans for sale, traditional paper.
† Sometimes it can mean a bag, constructed of any material, used by newspaper deliverers to carry newspapers
The three online dictionaries I checked all had the exact same definition. As in, word for word. The source is credited to WordNet and they appear to write their own definitions. I checked a local dictionary and the definition was "a small bag shop nike air max made of paper." Wikipedia defines it as "a preformed container made of paper,air max." I am calling bunk on the online dictionaries with two opposing references and the backup of every other answer here. WordNet got it wrong: Paper bag refers to a paper bag. MrHen Apr 6 '11 at 22:10
