“Bs-ed” isn’t actually a word that would be natural if you wrote it, but if you said this out loud, it would sound natural.

@richurchoi Are you referring to the immigration department when you say “I didn’t get dragged by”? In that case, you would say, “I didn’t get dragged out”. If you only say “I didn’t get dragged by”, it sounds more like a slang phrase that is commonly used.

@natashareint not being dragged off the plane, but being dragged to somewhere to be interoggated and questioned after landing.(you have to turn in your passport and the landing card to a clerk after landing)

does "get dragged by...." still sound off in that context?

@richurchoi Oh ok, I understand. In that case, you could say, “I didn’t get dragged away by the immigration department” or “I didn’t get dragged off by the immigration department”. Saying “off” is another way of saying “away” in this context. You don’t want to say “dragged by” because it sounds as if they are literally dragging your body across the floor.

@richurchoi yes, that would be perfect for that context. That would sound a lot better than the previous phrases.
