A slang term for program. This term was popularized in the 1990s on AOL when kids would create third party programs designed to exploit AOL software. Underground sites would entail the swapping of "proggies" and "punters" like Fate, Havoc, Blue Cross, and MiB. These were designed to paste text macros to disrupt chat rooms, crash other people's computers (and sometimes your own), and cause all other kinds of mischief.
1998: OMG I finally downloaded the proggie Magenta. This is so awesome. I'm going to go act like a cock-sucker in some AOL lobbies until a guide bans my phished account.
Packed with progressive elements, esp. regarding the genre adjective which applies to music - i.e. progressive rock, progressive metal, progressive folk, etc. "Progressive" generally connotes virtuosic instrumentation, incorporation of exotic sounds/instruments, use of uncommon time signatures, unusual/abstract lyrical subject matter, etc.
I'm sort of OK with Coheed and Cambria, I guess, but they are not nearly as proggy as Dream Theater or The Mars Volta. They sound like a less-proggy version of Rush, except Rush didn't have an emo influence.

A person who believes they are owed something in return for nothing.
Mikey was thinking like a proggie when he expected tax payers to supply him with his livelihood.

Used to describe pyschadelic music with progressive tone changes, ie, progessive music. This music is so progressice that it is foggy and the notes kind of just float mid-air, barely changing at all. Also can be used when touting progressive music that you feel is exceptionally trippy. A stoner type term.
"that album is really proggy when you hear it on headphones"

A pejorative term for political progressives, typically deployed by political tribalists who would prefer not to engage in substantive discussion.
Progressive: "I think a Tobin tax would raise significant revenues while also having the salutary effect of dis-incentivizing rampant unproductive financial speculation."
Political Tribalist: "F- You you proggie....always want something for NOTHING....why don't you get a life proggie??....sitting in your mom's basement.....HA!"
Anarchist: "You know, I think the progressives are wrong, dude, but why are you being such a douchebag?"
Conservative: "Yeah, I don't really think you're adding much to the discussion, Tribalist."
Political Tribalist: "Whatever, you proggie idiots...Why don't you go whining to your proggie mamas?...I WIN!"
Everybody: "Sigh, ok, whatever dude."
