flagged

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

The act of taking a book into the bathroom for extended reading during your business, thereby rendering it socially contaminated—as immortalized in that Seinfeld episode. Once a book has been flagged, it enters a permanent state of bathroom association that can never be undone.

Example Usage

I wanted to borrow his copy of Dune, but then I saw it on the back of his toilet—totally flagged, no thanks.
