Being an ass to get reactions out of people and then laughing at them for taking things way too seriously over the internet.
Some people call it trolling or baiting, but it is neither. E-baggery elevates itself to a class of intelligence, being the internet equivalent of satire. The idiots just get left behind.
"Dude, did you see the comment I made on Jane's myspace? It made her cry."
"You're such an e-bag, man." *High-five.*

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
