Definition
Covered with dags (matted wool); shabby, unkempt, or socially unfashionable, especially in Australian slang.
Etymology
From dag (matted wool) plus -y suffix forming adjectives. Australian English adopted and extended the meaning to include unfashionable or uncool appearance.
Kelly Says
In Australian slang, 'daggy' became the ultimate insult for being uncool—but it originated from actual sheep wool, showing how rural terms migrate into youth culture with completely new meanings!
