drab adj. wearing menβs clothing; dressed as a boy. Also n. Editorial Note: This term can apply to women, but it applies especially to cross-dressing or transvestite men who see traditional male clothing as drab, βcharmless; boring.β The common explanation of drag in the 1996 citation is a backronym, a fanciful initialism made after the word drag βfeminine attire worn by a manβ already existed.
