What Does This Mean?
Brazilian Portuguese gaming and internet slang meaning to suffer lag, that is, delayed or stuttering response caused by a slow connection or an overloaded server; "lagou" and "tá lagando" are common forms. This is the slang verb, not the ordinary noun "lagar" (a wine or olive press).
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Meu jogo está lagando demais hoje", he typed in the team chat."
LORE & ORIGIN
The verb is formed from English "lag" with the Portuguese -ar ending. Portuguese Wikipedia documents lag in online games as the delay between a player's computer and the server, and an Esports.net Brasil glossary defines "lag" as the irritating delay in online games. The Portuguese Wiktionary entry for "lagar" lists only the press sense, so the verb is attested here through its English base. No dated first use is documented.
