Robin, the colloquial meaning of ‘dag’ here can mean a few thing – it can describe someone’s dress style (negative), it can refer to an ‘uncool/nerdy type’ person, or it can be used in an affectionate way (also suggesting a nerdy type, but lovingly!).

Here’s one,

a) colors

Nicole has said Tildy is a dag, I think it means cute/funny — she was doing a cute pose in a photo. I’m not sure if it’s something you call your own kid, but it would be too familiar to call somebody else’s kid a dag? Can it apply to animals or nonliving objects?

I inherited Robin’s, yes! And immediately switched over to her method. She keeps the tracings in one of those large paper envelopes that will hold 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper unfolded.

I tried to adopt ‘pop’ because I thought it sounded sort of cool and James Dean-ish, like somebody from an S.E. Hinton novel (or more specifically, from one of the Coppola films) but I couldn’t get it to stick. It’s really interesting to see how my kid’s idiolect is developing. She’s familiar with so many phrases and characters from shows she’s…[Read more]
