    Reckon JP was close. Apparently it was a Dutch practise where betrothed couples were allowed to sleep together but until they were wed they were trussed up securely in bags to prevent any pre marital hanky-panky. Obviously, demands of the flesh are stronger than the ties that bind and, Houdini like, usually managed to free themselves from their bags- ergo-bagging off. Judging by my last visit to Amsterdam, those ladies adorning their windows along the canals had long since freed themselves.

    It certainly goes back a long time. In the late 1930s as kids and up to quite recently we always said I bags this or I bags that when claiming anything. If I were to say that now I'm sure it would be understood.

    The only time that I came across that expression is when somebody mentioned a port."I bagged off there it was a great bagging off place" obviously no need to spell it out!!

    There were a number of 'ladies' for whom a bag over the head would have been of better use. But as the saying goes, one does not look at the mantlepiece when one is poking the fire. Bagging off with such ladies would bring a man to return to his ship in the morning at a rate of knots.
