The Collins English Dictionary describes gas bagging, or a gasbagger, as someone who talks in a voluble way about unimportant matters. The rather more direct Urban Dictionary description is "Someone who talks utter bullshit."Shambolic pop foursome School Damage felt strongly enough about gasbagging that they wrote a song and created a video about blustering bullshitters."Gasbagging is about feeling irritated by people that talk too much. We were keen to create something that was visually chaotic, fractured and frantic, but also playful and humorous," explains the band's Carolyn Hawkins.
