 * Wait, you were probably asking that seriously, weren't you? - Amgine/talk 04:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't stand xkcd. Yes, I wondered whether this meets CFI or not. Equinox ◑ 20:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * blog-blag-brag An interesting etym for the phrase, follow the link.
 * How to blag your way into homosexuality?: completely strange usage, follows no historical pattern I've ever heard.

 * I should probably have looked for durably archived examples, but this seemed sillier/more descriptive. - Amgine/talk 03:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't have too much luck with finding attestation. Lots of scannos for blog, some possible other meanings, including a UK slang term. DCDuring TALK 03:26, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps the noun form of the word is worth reviewing too: " A blog featuring copious bragging." It looks like these forms of the word have become more popular since someone last tried to add it here. There is an urban dictionary entry, and several self-proclaimed blags: (sorry for the lack of links; I can't hyperlink without creating an account) These are just a few of the search results I've found. Any objections? --70.39.231.177 14:56, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * BlagHag's blog (which has been moved here )
 * BlaggBlogg
 * Krisjet's Blag
 * Nursultan's Pirate Blag
 * Blig Blag Blog

RFC discussion: July 2011–August 2017
The entry for this UK (?) colloquial term apparently has many senses. Which ones are transitive? Which intransitive? Which both? Can the wording be made to reflect those facts? Usage examples would help. Some of the senses seem generalizable/mergeable. DCDuring TALK 14:24, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree, there's a lot of overlap. I would merge some of these. I think it's always transitive. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Humorous misspelling of. The xkcd Webcomic is given as a source... not promising... Equinox ◑ 15:54, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * See also this comic shortly afterwards. Both strips are from 2006, so the fad may have come and gone by now, but old uses are still valid uses. I see plenty of hits on google for "on my blag", which is just one of many possible phrases to search.  It may have appeared as filler text on some websites, since a subset of the results are very similar to each other, but I didnt look very deeply into it. — Soap — 10:25, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
