Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to In the bag. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

How does it sound?
Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • Interview went sweet, mate. Job’s in the bag. Don’t jinx it. Too late, I’ve already told Mum and ordered a celebratory chippy tea.
  • My sister told the whole family her new flat in Manchester was in the bag last Tuesday, she handed in the deposit on Wednesday, and on Thursday morning the agent rang to say the landlord had decided to rent to his nephew after all by the end of the week.
  • The Sunday quiz was in the bag with three rounds to go, then the picture round threw up six cricket players from the nineties that nobody on our team had ever heard of, and we finished second behind the regulars who win every other month at the local.
  • We were 3 nil up by half-time and Kev was already saying the cup was in the bag. Then we absolutely bottled the second half.
  • Got the landlord's email, references checked, holding deposit paid. Unless the universe starts acting up, this flat's in the bag.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
