Etymology

The term 'cabbaged' has its origins in the early 19th century, primarily in British slang. It is derived from 'cabbage', which traditionally refers to the leafy vegetable. The connection between the vegetable and the term 'cabbaged' relates to the idea of dullness and lack of mental sharpness, akin to the characteristics of the cabbage itself. The word started being used to describe a state where a person appears to be mentally impaired or impaired due to drugs or injury. Over the years, it evolved into a colloquial term used in informal contexts to refer to both a state of mind and the act of consuming food in a careless manner. This dual usage shows the playful nature of language and how words can adapt and take on new meanings across different contexts.
