To repeatedly remind someone of a deficiency, lack, mistake, or hazard far past the point of reason. As a noun, "nag" means "someone who nags;" both men and women can be nags, but the term is most often applied to women. I'm in a California college town.
I'm familiar with the use of the word "nag" to mean a used-up horse, but only through movies, books, and very occasionally from people in their '70s and beyond. Again, I'm in an urban environment, so who knows what's happening out on the farms?
