What does the Australian slang term dag mean? |
[Edit] |
A dag is technically the matted wool on a sheep's tail, but in typical useage throughout Australia, it refers to people who don't have a neat, tidy or cultured appearance. It can also refer to a person who tends to be quite informal.
It is not necessarily a derogatory term in modern useage, but almost always has negative connotations - ie " He's a real dag!" or as an adjective - " His clothes are daggy." Often it is used in relation to someone unfashionable.
ok..the term "dag" is also a type of compliment as used between mates both male and female..."you dag" means you're a bud...and i believe a real dag is the matted ummm..sheep poop mixed with the wool...
