Well I am quite confused now. because Wiki says the following:
"In Australia, it is often used as an affectionate insult[1] for someone who is, or is perceived to be, unfashionable, lacking self-consciousness about their appearance and/or with poor social skills yet affable and amusing. In New Zealand, it is used to describe an amusing, quirky and likeable person (as in, "He's a bit of a dag") and is non-pejorative"
You OBVIOUSLY meant the NZ version. But you're from Aus. Which implies you meant "unfashionable and with poor social skills"! It's all quite a mystery, I can't work it out ;-)
