What does "Nag" mean to you?
I am doing a little research for a project and I know that many words mean different things on opposite sides of the atlantic... I think this board is mainly populated by Americans(?), so...
What does Nag mean to you? (and where are you from :)) |
A shit racehorse. (UK) ;)
|
I'm from the US and is usually used to describe the act of annoying someone by whining and complaining, though I've also heard it used to describe a worn out horse.

Old horse.
or... Classic women's perspective: Reminding others of items on your mental to-do list. Items not necessarily agreed upon, but things you've at least mentioned before, heard "uh huh, sure dear", and they'd sure be nice if they were done. Classic men's perspective: Others making you mental with their to-do list reminders. Reminders of things you may have agreed to, but it was probably under duress of said list-keeper standing between you and a sporting event. To both: Participate. Make a list, agree on it. Expectations are key. To Women: Write it down, say it once, move on. To Men: Get it done or don't agree to it. From the Western USA |
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? |

nag to me means horse racing, ie someone would say, you having a bet on the nags? or nag means to ask for something heaps of times to annoy u ! |
Yes but it is heaps of time over something trivial (well to me).
|
Thanks for all the replies :) I was hoping that it would mean to remind people of stuff over on the US side as well..
Cheers :) |
From Ireland, and nag means "the act of annoying someone by whining and complaining" (Da Monk).
