how daggy are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I used the term daggy in a post and then for the benefit on non-antipodeans, looked up a definition. Wikipedia refers to autism spectrum characters in the explaination. The definition of dag seems pretty close to AS - lol

So how daggy are you?

me?

I think I act more daggy that I dress. I usually dress a bit formally and follow rules (no brown shoes with blue trousers, jeans excepted), collar never done up unless you have a tie on, collar never undone if you have a tie on, etc

No, I wouldn't qualify as daggy. Sometimes people are intrtiqued by my quirks, but that usually wears off once they start getting annoyed that I can't "turn it off" and play normal for them.

I think the way people with ASDs are protrayed in movie is distorted to make them more appealing.

I'm pretty daggy, except for the part about music. I like popular music, but everything else describes me.

I didn't read the link. I just don't like the word daggy. I can't stop thinking it now You know what I mean when I say it's a "sticky word"?

dagy sounds fun. since my diagnosis 4 months ago i think i am liberating the dag in me. I have always liked dagy women and been so turned off by squeeky shinny plastic women.

I really enjoyed reading this dagy thing, thanks

Huh. Sounds just like me, so I guess I'm daggy.
(That word and its definition were already in my brain, but I thought I had made it up.)

I'm not British enough to be daggy.

hmm maybe, a little bit.

Yep, have been called Daggy many times in my life. Finally went out and got a 2nd pair of shoes last week after meaning to for a year.

my son is......

I have to lay out his clothes or he probably wouldn't wear any!

From the description I think I'm daggy. My personality is daggy. Probably not clothes-wise though. And not so sweet as Ugly Betty or Forest Gump. A dag with attitude, if that's possible. lol.

As far as dress goes, I tend to dress professionally at work and casually, but not in a sloppy manner, at home.

My musical tastes run to oldies (50s and 60s music), so I suppose I'm a bit daggy there. I was born in 1964.

My interests tend to be unusual too, ranging from Olympic gold medalists to history and geography. My favorite athlete is Roger Bannister, unusual for an American woman born ten years after Bannister's record was set.

I had no idea that there was actually a classification for people like me. I miss my younger days of dag. Fuschia hair was so fun. If i could get away with it professionally, it would be so. I opt for platinum blonde today. Strangely enough, it is accepted. In fact, I dont think the article could have put it more succinctly, and in such a complementary way.

I'm a total dag!

I basicly live in jeans and T-shirts and trackies, except when at work. I get a haircut when I can't see anymore, (but I do wash it regularly.) I wear makeup if I'm going out to dinner, but generally find it really uncomfortable. I generally don't give a hoot for fashion, as it is generally uncomfortable ,silly looking stuff that will be out of fashion in 6 months. I watch documentaries instead of big brother.

So yes, total dag. Sometimes I wish I had better dress sense, but there are probably more important things to obsess over....

Tee hee, I'm daggy
I like all sorts of old music, mainly the roots of rock n roll and r n b.

I've decided to grow my hair long because my barber was ill for sometime and I get moaned at a lot (tis the first time my hair has been long) for the length.

As for clothing. I wait until I have nothing left of an item, then wash all of them together, then dry them, then leave them in a big pile. Unfolded is my look. Except on Saturday nights, when I put on a shirt and clean jeans, and, depending on the time of year, regular footwear (suede boots are a must on my feet) or cowboy boots, or straw cowboy hat or my Canadian winter hat, made from beaver.

Dag, dag, daggy daggy dag dag. Dag
