Ballyrag

To ballyrag is to indulge in horseplay and play practical jokes on people. I will try to remember that as it may come in useful. I enjoyed your invented meanings and am happy to announce realityjunkie as the top of the polls today.

It is very interesting for me to read this post. Thanx for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.

My adorable new kitten reckons the ballyrag is a cat's toy that, at some long-forgotten point in its incarnation, was once roughly spherical.

This is when students at the University of Bally in Ireland hold a rag week. Usually on the 31st November in aid of the homeless leprachorn charity "Hopeless." Namely Ballyrag Week.

A ballyrag is a baseball that has been hit too many times. Such balls are usually discarded, but sometimes you've just got to make do.
