Re: Dagny?
in reply to a message by SodaPop
Lauren said that a dag is a word for a bit of crusty sheep poo that gets stuck to a sheeps bottom in new zealand slang.
Also it's really Rand-ish.
So not my fave. I might edit in combos later if I think of them.

The slang is the same in Australia too. Dag literally means dried poop stuck to a sheep's bottom but we also use it as a not so serious insult. Kind of like "You're such a dag" to describe someone being silly or stupid. It isn't something you'd call someone behind their back though, it is more something you use to people who have a good relationship with.
I never realized until this post that it was an Australian/NZ slang term. I was always so puzzled why Dagmar and Dagny get any love at all.
