Is "dragged" the new "slammed"?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Where I'm from, "dragged" means to be removed against your will.

You know, like "the pitcher got dragged after the first inning".

I was hoping a horse was involved.

They seem to be in a testing phase for the slam replacement.

Does it in here to you?

I feel like dragged predates slammed as slang but it definitely wasn't popular headline material

I don't think it's really new. Just short for dragged through the mud. super old phrase + ellipsis
