To be caught off guard with an insult or a belittling comment. To be blindsighted by a patronizing comment amidst a circle of friends, usually by one of your own friends.
We were out at a restaurant last night, and Peter totally sandbagged me with his comment on how easy it was to stop smoking, while it is obvious that I've had many failed attempts

When making a sale during the week but purposely not booking it on the computer until the Friday so you don't need to go in to work.
"Dan has been sandbagging and has got a deal on Thursday and won't book the sale till Friday and can now enjoy a long weekend"

When you're tricked into doing something because you weren't given all of the information you needed to make a good decision.
Naris sandbagged me when he asked me to cover for him while he went on vacation. He knew he was quitting as soon as he got back and I'd get stuck with a matter that was a freakin' disaster.

Knocked down or bowled over by a nasty or disparaging comment from someone you thought you could trust, with damage to your reputation or prospects.
Here’s the image: Two or more friends are tossing light objects to one another, and you get used to catching them easily. But then your “friend” tosses you a heavy sandbag, propelled with some force. You try to catch it, but it’s way more than you expected, and it knocks you flat on your back. You feel like a fool for being knocked over and for trusting that person in the first place.

Example: I thought I was OK with him - I even thought we were friends - but then he sandbagged me with a nasty comment, in front of people who are important to me.

When you work in sales, you don't post your production till the next day or the following month when you're toward the end of the month, to get a head start on everyone else in your office.
Me: Sam, I got 4 deals sandbagged for next month, I'm gonna beat everyone next month.
Sam: sand-bagger, I'll still beat you in production.
Me: good luck trying to catch up to me dude.
Sam: sand-bagger, I'll still beat you in production.

The act of embarrassing someone by making them look foolish or stupid in front of a large group of people.
Usually it is unintentional or by accident. it can either be a dick move or the person is completely overreacting
