What is the origin of the term "jagweed" and how is it used?

"jagweed" is a slang insult that likely arose in the United States in the 20th century, formed by combining "jag," suggesting sharpness or irritation, with "weed," a plant often seen as unwanted, to describe someone worthless, annoying, or contemptible. The metaphor implies a person who is irritating and persistent in a negative way. It has been used in informal speech, literature, and regional vernacular to mock or criticize someone's character. The term is derogatory, intended to insult, and is never neutral.

Examples
The jagweed took the last slice of pizza without asking.
