What it means
Unfashionable or dorky in a loveable way, like you’ve rolled out in trackies, socks with thongs, or a tragic home haircut. It’s a gentle roast more than a real insult, and plenty of Aussies wear it like a badge of honour. Comes off the older word dag for a bit of a nerd.
Usage examples
"Mum turned up to Bunnings in trackies and a faded footy jumper. I’m like, daggy as. She goes, too right, mate, comfort first."
"I love these daggy old sandals, they're hideous but the comfiest thing I own."
"He turned up to the party in a daggy Christmas jumper in the middle of summer."
