文法句型

number + bagger

用法筆記

This term appears almost exclusively with a number prefix (e.g., 'two-bagger,' 'ten-bagger,' 'twenty-bagger'). It was popularised by investor Peter Lynch in his 1989 book 'One Up on Wall Street,' where a 'ten-bagger' described a stock that returns ten times the original investment. In modern usage, any 'N-bagger' refers to an N-fold return.

常見錯誤

This stock is a bagger.
This stock is a ten-bagger.
💡The word must be preceded by a number (e.g., two-bagger, five-bagger, ten-bagger); it is almost never used alone.

同義詞

    the most common full form of this term, especially in US climbing communities

  • summit bagger

    emphasises the goal of reaching the top rather than the mountain itself

  • Munro bagger

    a specific type of bagger who climbs Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet

用法筆記

This sense comes from the activity called 'peak bagging' or 'mountain bagging,' a hobby in which climbers collect summits the way collectors gather stamps. The term is most common in UK, Irish, and US hiking circles and is often paired with a qualifier: 'peak bagger,' 'summit bagger,' or 'Munro bagger' (for climbers of Scottish peaks over 3,000 feet).

常見錯誤

He is a bagger who climbs technical rock routes.
He is a peak bagger who has completed all the Munros.
💡'Bagger' on its own can be ambiguous; use 'peak bagger' or 'mountain bagger' to specify this sense clearly.
