Is it like referring to a member of the opposite sex as a 2 bagger or 3 bagger? You know? In banking, possibly referring to an ugly deal.

Come on guys, bagger = bag of sand= grand = 1,000

Where does it come from? Bag of sand = grand (ye olde english)

While we are on topic, Yard = Billion also from the English, Miliard. Finally Monkey = 500 as I believe the 500 rupee note had a picture of a monkey on it

A multiple on your money - i.e. you invest 100 bucks, get back 500 - that's a 5 bagger.

Thanks smartass, I tried googling 5 bagger and you get an urban dictionary definition for a chick so ugly you need five bags to hide her face.

To those of you who were helpful, thank you.

I love the trolling here, special props to Redrut and Countrydog, well done.

I've also heard the 'two bagger' used to mean a girl requiring a double condom, or a girl that you NEED a condom and a bag for her head.

Just for future reference on the 5 bagger discussion:

One over her face obviously.
One to cover your own just in case hers falls off.
One over your dogs head so as to not make him sick and disgusted with you.
One by the door just in case somebody walks in.
And one to be sick into after the deed is done.

I think the monkey shit I got thrown at me for my comment was well worth the direction I took this thread.

That said, well done to Banker88 for resisting the temptation.
