Jag – A slash or slit in a garment exposing material of a different color. Prior to the 13th century in Saxon, England, during outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague, strangers were looked upon with horror! Dogs barking alerted the townspeople to strangers in their area, hence the words “Hark, hark the dogs do bark.”
