Definitions
A tog bag is South African English for a sports bag — the kind you stuff with your gym kit, swimming gear, or rugby boots before heading to practice. 'Togs' is an older British and Commonwealth term for clothes or swimwear, so a tog bag is literally the bag where you chuck your gear. In South Africa it's completely standard everyday vocab, the kind of word that goes in the shopping list next to 'biltong' without a second thought. If you're moving to South Africa, add tog bag to your vocabulary — you'll hear it constantly.
