  1. Well, I knew bail. That is very common here, too.
    Dag is a short nickname for my son Dagan--and he is a bit of a nerd or geek--LOL! But never knew it meant that in slang.

    1. Yeah bail is pretty common many of us can be a bit of a dag at times

  2. I still use all those words every day language, except for bail. Dag is being a bit cute about someone; bogan is being less cute about someone.
