Is 'Bags' an Aussie Slang?
So I've been wondering for the last hour if 'bags' is an Aussie slang. As in "I bags the swings!".

I know Americans say "I CALL the swings' or "I've got FIRST DIBS on the chocolate covered pretzels (apparently these are HOT in the Americas).

Also does anyone else know any other ways this could be said?

Real? Yeah I agree with angelito. I say it in meetings ALL the time.



"I bags the first criticism on you work! SNAP!"

It's not just Aussie, we use it in the UK too, or at least we do in Scotland.

to "bag" something here in the U.S. would mean to have sex with that something o_O
