"Couldn't act/ doing something) way out of a paper bag" = (làm điều gì đó) không thoát ra khỏi cái túi giấy -> diễn xuất hoặc làm điều gì đó một cách tệ hại, nghèo nàn.
Ví dụ
"He is a Wordpress website designer and (couldn't) hack his way out of a paper bag," he said. "This whole suit is a joke."
She’s dead behind the eyes. She couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. She should not be on film or on stage. She’s a wonderful performer (nghệ sĩ trình diễn tuyệt vời) for what she does, but she is not an actress.
Mr Duncan Smith continued: “I looked at that and I thought to myself this is the man that delivered the deal (đưa ra thỏa thuận) that we’re in at the moment. And I have to say I don’t have a huge amount of confidence that he or any of that negotiating team who by the way, I think couldn’t negotiate their way out of a paper bag.
