Rami's answer is perfect. A manbag is a type of bag that some men think look more suitable for a woman.

"Wouldn't be seen dead" is an informal expression. If someone "wouldn't be seen dead" in a particular place or doing a particular thing, they would never do it, usually because it would be too embarrassing: "I wouldn't be seen dead wearing a dress like that."

Hi there!
Great question! Here are some examples:
Situation 1: I'm a guy. A very macho guy.
"I wouldn't be seen dead wearing a dress!"
Hahahah.... or
"I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a dress!"
Funny, huh?
Well, that's how we use it! :)
Have fun learning English!
