Is a "dirt bag" a bag for keeping dirt?

Thanks

of course not - that would be too easy.

a dirt bag refers to a person who plays mean (dirty) tricks on people, one who deceives, a person who you have strong feelings against, one who is not a nice person, or a person who is dirty and possibly poor.

- that dirt bag stole my wallet!

- the dirt bag that lives on the corner begs everyone for money.

- the dirt bag next door doesn't keep his dog fenced in and the dog bit me when i walked by his house.

- my brother is a dirt bag. he wouldn't come and pick my up from work when my car wasn't working because he was playing basketball with his friends.

We usually put a cloth bag in a vacuum cleaner to store the dirt sucked in,I think it can be called a "dirt bag", right? Smile
