It means that there isn't a specific catergory for it. So it's like Millenous (forgot how to spell it). Outside the Categories.

To me it means that it is off the wall or something that cannot be classified/categorized.

its for more lighthearted, crazy, mad, braintwister questions you never knew you wanted to know about. I am indeed expert of outside the bag...

i kinda put it there, when i don't have anywhere else to put, questions you are wondiring, like how and when and why and crazy thoughts and so on...=)

If I cannot find a catagory inside the bag, then I put it outside the bag. Both have infinite space.

1) The comment associated to this category is: "The island of misfit questions, from the head-scratching to the surreal..." Source and further information: http://www.answerbag.com/c_view/3602 It does *not* mean that nonsensical questions are allowed in this category! Please consider that a question asked in the category "outside the bag" or in one of its subcategories, when flagged as nonsense, will be rejected as nonsense if the Staff moderators or Community Leaders agree with the flagging. 2) The expression "outside the bag" is not used a lot outside of Answerbag. A more common expression is "outside the box": "Thinking outside the box is to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel, creative and smart thinking. This is sometimes called a process of lateral thought. The catchphrase, or cliché, has become widely used in business environments, especially by management consultants and executive coaches, and has spawned a number of advertising slogans."

"In 2006 Popham became known in the media as the "bag lady" when she began a campaign called "Think Outside The Bag" to have disposable plastic bags banned in southern Vancouver Island's Capital Regional District."

it means there is a brown paper bag, named Baggy. he is the most popular bag in the whole ab community. he has a club for all of the questions that are reasonable and can fit into one of the categories in his club. it is called "The Bag". but, there are some misfit questions that dont fit into the categories in "The Bag". they are considered "Outside the Bag", meaning they cant get into the club. hope this little metaphor helped
