Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I think it's derived from hunting; i.e. 'bagging' an animal or 'got it in the bag' for a project. Captured/caught/contained/completed.

Probably not the most PC of origins, but implies A was chasing B.

This is why I feel old - it's been in use since I was a kid (waaaaaaaaaaay back in the 80s) and probably before that.

The fact people don't know what it means........ children!! You are all children!!!

(Or, you know, from countries where it's not used?)

I feel slow for not making that connection, I couldn't help but think teabagged 😅 I've spent too much time on the internet I think...

The act of winning one over, leading into a relationship.

I should have understood what it meant intuitively, I think my brain was just fried when I read it initially lol 😅

Yeah I'm confused about what that word means here. Given the "lesbian" part of it I was thinking maybe it meant married? Started dating? Had sex with?
