Meaning
A lot of, plenty of, many — set before a noun to mean a large amount or number. 'Bagga money' is lots of money, 'bagga people' a big crowd, 'bagga mouth' a great deal of empty talk. Worn down from 'a bag of', the word turns the image of a full bag into a plain, everyday quantifier for abundance, and it often carries a faint edge of scorn — 'bagga chat', 'bagga noise' — for a lot of something not worth much.

Origin
A contraction of 'a bag of', where a bagful stands in for a large, generous quantity.
