Little Pink Pill

A tourist goes up to the bar at the Top Of The Mark Hotel. There he sees this dude take a pink pill, wash it down with a beer, walk over to the window and jump out. The dude actually flies around for a minute and zips back into the bar and sits back down.

The dude repeats this amazing feat a few more times. Finally the tourist asks if he could have a pill. The flying dude tells him it is his last one. The gentleman offers five hundred dollars, but the fly guy says no dice. Then he makes his final offer of a thousand dollars, everything he has.

The flier reluctantly agrees, takes the cash, surrenders the pill, and turns back to the bar. The gentleman takes the pill, swallows it down with a beer, goes to the window, and jumps out only to fall to his death. The bartender walks over to the flier at the bar and, wiping a glass, says, "You sure are mean when you're drunk, Superman."

It's in the Bag

It's in the bag, means that it is a sure thing, a done deal, a slam dunk. The origin of this expression is most likely a hunting reference, in which the prey has been killed or bagged. Many states have hunting bag limits, such as how many deer, moose or bear you are permitted to bag per season. Brown bagging it, usually means carrying your lunch to work or school.

A related bag expression is, "The cat is out of the bag," meaning someone has revealed a secret, or gossiped widely about a secret.

Baggage

Everyone carries their own history. This may also be referred to as "baggage." Somebody's reputation is their baggage. If you have been married three times already, and are looking for number four, then number four must know that you bring with you a great amount of baggage, a "backstory" as they say in Hollywood.

"What's your bag?" is a slang way of asking, "What are your interests, what do you like to do?"
