scag drag
n.— «There’s the serious professional events and there is also the self-actualized comedic value in some of the events, like the “Wild Drag” event, where you’ll see a (usually robust) gentlement in “scag drag”—vernacular for awfully hilarious, and the event promoter Ian Bowles says it’s too humor the stereotypes.» —“AmyB’s Gettin’ Out: Thank Huck it’s Friday” by Jim Harris Little Rocking (Little Rock, Arkansas) Apr 28, 2006.
