      The act of winning one over, leading into a relationship.

      I think it’s derived from hunting; i.e. ‘bagging’ an animal or ‘got it in the bag’ for a project. Captured/caught/contained/completed.

      Probably not the most PC of origins, but implies A was chasing B.

        This is why I feel old - it’s been in use since I was a kid (waaaaaaaaaaay back in the 80s) and probably before that.

        The fact people don’t know what it means… children!! You are all children!!!

        (Or, you know, from countries where it’s not used?)

        I feel slow for not making that connection, I couldn’t help but think teabagged 😅 I’ve spent too much time on the internet I think…

      My first thought was “teabagged”, which would have had to be some inclusive usage of the word, but I guess, it would have also been very relevant for lesbians, but I was also then confused why the baggee is Miss USA, rather than another football player, but I guess it might actually be Miss USA after all, although I’m guessing that’s still not what it’s supposed to mean…

      🙃

        I should have understood what it meant intuitively, I think my brain was just fried when I read it initially lol 😅

      Yeah I’m confused about what that word means here. Given the “lesbian” part of it I was thinking maybe it meant married? Started dating? Had sex with?
