What does bagging mean?

Urban Dictionary suggests insulting. Is this a particularly Antipodean slang? I'm aware Americans say 'ragging', due to my exposure to The Simpsons, but I've never heard 'bagging' in the wild.

in england we say 'whipsiflootleing'

Bagging him out? I dunno, I pick up slang from all over the place, including ancient dead languages.

Pretty common saying here, 'to bag someone out'.

It refers to the traditional Australian practice of putting somebody into your tucker-bag like they were a jumbuck.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

Just remember that they're bagging him, not teabagging him.

I've heard both 'bagging on' and 'ragging on' in the US. I have heard neither recently though.

Knighthood would probably be easier.

I would also like one of them knighthood things. Then I can be Dame Kimra. I'll insist everyone call me by title too, because it will remind them how much less their worth is compared to mine.
Well, I can call you Kimra, He-Man in a Miniskirt all the time currently, if you wish.

It doesn't have the same ring to it, but I appreciate the thought. :)

2GB won't be punished for conduct breach
A talkback radio station made a rather tasteless quiz a while back when a boatload of asylum seekers crashed into rocks off the coast, giving a prize to whoever could guess how many of them were to be buried in Sydney (at the outrage of the radio presenter, I remember). The verdict is finally out.

Hmm. Well I hope the number of listeners dropped substantially after that incident. Crass and tasteless. But we seem to encourage that in our radio stations. >_>
