The act or practice of persistently bullying, harassing, or intimidating someone; ongoing mean-spirited treatment.
Present participle of 'bullyrag,' formed with the '-ing' suffix (Old English 'ung,' eventually '-ing'). Can function as a noun or adjective depending on context.
The '-ing' form of 'bullyrag' is particularly useful because it suggests the bullying is continuous or habitual—'bullyragging' is something you do repeatedly, not a one-time event. This grammatical choice reveals psychology: we recognize that this kind of aggression is almost always a pattern, not an isolated incident.
