Question Speed vs. Drag

So, I was reading the forums, and I keep coming across phrases like "high speed, low drag." What does it mean?

Oh! I get it now! So having an insane amount of gear would be "Low speed, high drag?"

I would like to call it "medium paced."
/Also, I would like to call it heavy.

It originally referred to the real special forces types- deployable anywhere with little notice and little logistics, referring to both the unit and the person.

It's all tongue in cheek now anyway. I've been sportin' the high drag-low speed sig for a few years now in solidarity with my other fat, lazy brethren. There's a big gulf between the "looks ok, feels comfortable, and works" side of equipment and "it says tactical on the label and a seal team is rumored to use it so I have ten of them"

That video is awesome, and it was what originally led me to ask the question.
