Swedish
Etymology
From Old Norse dregg (“sediment”), from Proto-Germanic *dragjō (whence also Icelandic dregg, English dreg).
Usage notes
Neuter gender is a bit more slangy (though it has appeared in media). Often refers to trashy or sleazy behavior, of a kind often brought on by alcohol. Has been turned into an adjective as well (dräggig), and is sometimes used as a verb (drägga).
