Bag

Wealthiness, success, or simply a large sum of money may be referred to as a "bag." Rappers often use bag in their songs, sometimes in the phrases "grinding for a bag" or "chasing the bag," which describe hard work to achieve success and get rich.

Various rappers have described monetary success as a bag, including Cardi B, Gucci Mane, and Drake. The term eventually crossed over from the rap community to the broader public in 2020. Now, you may also hear teenagers and young adults use the slang.

For example, your friend might tweet "Rise n grind for that bag!" early in the morning, accompanied by a pic of the sunrise. Or, your brother may post a TikTok about chasing the bag at his job.

In baseball, a "bag" is a "base," whether it be first, second, or third base. People may also call home base a bag, but they often call it home, the plate, or the dish.

For example, you may complain about a missed call from the previous night, saying, "He was nowhere near the bag when he got tagged. How did they call him safe?!?" People may also use bag to refer to different types of hits, such as the two bagger, a double where the hitter touches two bags while running, and three bagger, a triple where the hitter touches three bags while running.

BAG is a quick way to say that a person has a massive smile on their face, possibly in reaction to something funny or just because they are delighted. Most people use BAG in messages, but you may also see it in online forums and social sites.

For example, a friend may send you a hilarious meme, and you reply simply with "BAG!" Or, your uncle may post a video of his dog jumping into a lake on a social site with the caption, "This put a bag on my face!" The BAG acronym is not well known, so remember that most people will think you're referring to an actual bag instead of a big grin.

When a person laughs heartily, they may send "BAG," which stands for "busting a gut." People should only use it when something is extremely funny, and the person thinks their guts will actually rip open and fall out.

For example, while LOL is incredibly common and optimal for moderately funny moments, like a picture of a dog wearing a funny hat, you should use BAG when reacting to something much funnier, like a video of a dog wearing a funny hat jumping up on his owner causing the owner to fall into a pool. Since the BAG acronym is not well known, people may think you're referring to an actual bag instead of how you're busting your gut laughing.
