veckans ord: DAG


från new york magazine:

Sarah Stephens was discovered when she won a model search in her native Australia. Just 18 years old, she's already garnered praise from Mario Testino, appeared in Italian Vogue and Numéro, and is expected to land a lot of runway shows when Fashion Week starts in September. She says her classmates were surprised by her success since in school she was always a "dag" (the Aussie term for a nerdy loner — she even played the bass clarinet in band). Watch and find out what she used to hate about the way she looked.

"A dag isn't really a nerdy loner. A dag is like a bogan, or someone who never puts any effort into their clothes and doesn't really give a stuff. They can usually be found in a singlet, trackies and thongs. Dagginess has nothing to do with popularity." /cocochanelle

"A Dag has a few variations of what it means. It doesnt necessarily mean a Nerd.
Some say a dag is a bogan. (But bogans are usually pretty dirty). Another take on a Dag; Someone who's a bit goofy, quirky, doesnt dress very prim and proper." /venetia
