We used to use it often as kids, though it's not heard so much today. I believe it's also used in the UK, but probably not in the USA. It means "to choose", I got there first", "it's mine" - all sorts of connotations. I would love to know how widely it is understood. Examples of its use are:- - I bags the bone from the leg of lamb - I bagsed it first - She's always bagsing things before me! - You can't bags that, I was here first!" - There'll be no more bagsing, just be quite and eat your meal!
