A "bag lady" is a homeless woman who carries all her things with her: "There's that poor bag lady again. Should we give her some money and food?" The "first lady" is the wife of the President of the United States: "The first lady doesn't have an official position in the government, but she is expected to support her husband and have programs of her own."
