dag
noun · casual, friendly
Someone a bit uncool, silly or unfashionable, usually said with affection.
How Aussies use it
- Dad's such a dag with his dancing.
- I look like a dag in these trackies.
Good to know
Usually friendly teasing, not a serious insult. 'Daggy' is the adjective.
Saying it more formally
In a formal email, essay or the PTE test, use unfashionable person instead.
Slang is great for chatting with friends and workmates, but keep it out of PTE essays and formal writing.
