This is actually not a new term but many of you that don’t get out much may not have heard it. You might know it as knocking, ragging, chopping, roasting or some other term, depending on how old you are. It is a popular form of humor.
Bagging is different from insulting although the words may be the same. Bagging is an insulting comment made to a friend as a form of humor. Both people know this and it is harmless. An insult is intended to harm. For instance, “You are stupid,” could be an insult, assuming you aren’t. If you are it is just a statement of fact. A bag would be, “Did your brain miss the bus this morning?”
Bagging tends to be more common among males. That is because most women don’t have much of a sense of humor.
When you hear it, relax. It is a way of saying “I care.”
