### Etymology 1

From Middle English dagge, of uncertain (probably Germanic) origin, cognate with (Middle) Dutch dag, dagge, dagh. The sense "dangling lock of wool, matted with dung" (originally from the dialect of Kent) is also termed "daglock" (derived from the "hanging end" sense of "dag") or "daggle-lock" and some sources consider the sense a shortening of that longer word rather than a mere evolution of the "hanging end" sense.

#### Noun

dag (plural dags)
* A hanging end or shred, in particular a long pointed strip of cloth at the edge of a piece of clothing, or one of a row of decorative strips of cloth that may ornament a tent, booth or fairground.
* A dangling lock of sheep’s wool matted with dung.

    The development of dags first requires some faeces to adhere to wool, but this is only the initial step in accumulation.
** 2004, Mette Vaarst, Animal health and welfare in organic agriculture, page 323:[...] and the use of tanniferous forages may affect faecal consistency, reducing the formation of dag (faeces-coated wool).
** 2006, in the compilation of the Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, volume 46, issues 1-5, published by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (Australia), on page 7:
    [Researchers] note that free pellets are characteristic of healthy sheep and that if sheep consistently produced free pellets, wool staining and dag formation would not occur.

But it didn't really bother me. He said, "You're such a dag, you're cool." I took it as "you're a laidback person".
