I grabbed a screenshot from a Google News feed a few years back, and just stumbled across it again.
I found it particularly humorous, as it occured around Thanksgiving, IIRC:

LOL. Great try, Nano. Literally, a dag is the faeces smeared wool around a sheep's pooper. Figuratively, a dag is an unpleasant dork, kinda nebish but with no implication of affection or cuteness. So, a rough translation is Dr. Sh*ttygarbage.

Aha, dag. Per the link, that would be me, I fear.

Then there's dagging. That has got to be one of the lowest and worst jobs on the planet, ever.

Good point. And you didn't get paid.

Oh, well. At least parenthood has a culturally elevated status (if that's any consolation), and better yet, no blowflies. Um......I think....

The great and ancient nation of Dagestan must be enormously popular in Oz.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
