Yorkshire dialect slang meaning to play truant or skive off school without permission. While rooted in traditional Northern English dialect, twag has retained some life in Yorkshire communities and enjoys occasional revival among those who grew up hearing it. It functions as a verb — you twag school — and carries the same casual, unapologetic attitude as bunking off or wagging. Deeply regional but genuinely used rather than purely archaic.
They decided to twag the last lesson of Friday and spent the afternoon messing about by the canal.
