Perhaps, but it appears to be in use in the US.

I think its highly dbaggy to suggest to others when they can and cant post
their picks.

Aha! The meaning can be inferred from this post:

ORLY? I sold several "led kits" (leds wired up to change your gauge
cluster to any color ala my DIY writeup) to many non Dbaggy people. He
probably wants them to handout at car meets/shows.

Dbaggy is an adjective which is an abbreviation of "douchebagggy".
OED:
douchebag
(b) U.S. slang, a general term of disparagement, esp. for an unattractive
or boring person;

Well done, Peter, your google mojo is obviously better than mine or
uri's. From the context I'd assumed a typo for 'daggy' (Austr. very un-
trendy) and looked no further. So HTF do we pronounce it? These septics,
what will they think of next?

It probably only exists in blogworld/textworld so never needs
pronouncing.

DEE baggy, of course.

Funny, though. I know we have talked about hearing chat-group language
on TV, or in real life, though the real migration has gone from chat to
text-messaging to real life.

I know I heard discussion between two grown women on a reality show and
they said "Double-U Tee Eff" and "Oh Em Gee". I guess that lets them
be hip, without offending anyone, or sounding crude. Haven't heard
"Ell Oh Ell", though (or loll?)

I have...both of them, as well as the derivative "lolcat" and the intensified
version "roffle"....

And then there's the commercial where the teenage girl answers her mother's
question about who she's talking to with "eye dee kay, my bee eff eff Jill?"...r

No, if they wanted to be hip, it would be "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot".

(On the other hand, I know the guy who registered uu3c.org.)

And "douchebagggy" is an accidentally extended version of "douchebaggy".
