A term commonly used to describe the resident of Winsted, CT in the Northwest part of the state. A raggie refers to a person who can often be mistaken as a smelly homeless person; they wear the same clothes just about every day, they wear British Knights and BUM sweatshirts. They are poor and their parents are on welfare; they have a large raggie family tree. They are often the brunt of jokes; it is not good to be known as a raggie.

a raggie is not a person who is from Winsted, CT. The term raggie comes from Mt. Riga and the locals in Lakeville and Salisbury, CT call it Mt. Raggy. SO! A true and honest raggie or Raggy is a long time local of Lakeville, Salisbury, or Taconic who have spent many a summer day; fishing, swimming, kayaking, or boating on Mt. Riga.
I have lived in Lakeville my entire life, and every summer I go to my cabin on Mt. Riga, we call the year-rounders up there Raggies.

Raggy Dolls are claimed to be made for children's television on the Yorkshire Television network.
This is partly true. The original idea came from the contents of a rubbish skip in the toy factory in Cushendall, Northern Ireland.
The name "Raggy Dolls" was chosen because a play on the town name became Cushion Dolls, this was deemed as inaccurate, due to the complexity of the shapes.

Producer 2: Sounds rubbish, but it should work
