Daggy

I've gone from San Francisco,  which has pockets of fashion consciousness,  but overall is anything goes;  to Sydney,  which is much more traditionalist and trend-conscious (in San Francisco,  there can be trends for a day). So I'm considered a bit of a dag.  Which apparently is a term used affectionately,  though the original meaning is unknown to most Australians (and Kiwis)  "The literal meaning is a dung-caked lock of wool around the hindquarters of a sheep - an abbreviation of 'daglock'".
