jagging
Making sharp indentations
Jagging is making a series of sharp, irregular cuts or projections—creating a jagged edge.
In Scottish and Irish dialect, jagging means pricking or piercing: The nurse jagged him with the needle.
In American slang, jagging can mean going on a spree or binge, from the noun jag meaning a bout of unrestrained activity: He's been jagging around all weekend.
