What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

Brazilian Portuguese gaming and computer slang meaning "with lag": said when a game, connection or system freezes, stutters or responds with a delay. It is formed from the English noun lag with the Portuguese ending -ado.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Tô lagado, meu personagem nem se mexe!"

LORE & ORIGIN

Dicionário inFormal records lagado as computer slang used when a system or game starts to freeze, with an example about a slow-loading web page, and as a way to describe an unstable internet connection that causes stalls and delayed responses; it describes the word as an inflected form of lag. Brazilian gamer glossaries note that players type that they are "lagados" in chat to say they are suffering lag. The word rests on the English loanword lag, the delay between an action and its effect on screen. The first use of lagado is not documented.
