Default What Exactly Is Considered An Ace Rag?

Is there a general concensus at Two Plus Two for exactly what is considered an ace rag?
In SSH Ed Miller says:
"We also sometimes use the term 'ace rag.' That denotes any hand that contains an ace and a small, unspecified side card, such as a trey or a six."
The book also gives a general recommendation not to play most offsuited aces (A9-A2).
Would A9, A8, or A7 be considered ace rags? I consider them to be, and also generally don't play them. Do the pros call these hands "rags?"

i think "rags" refer to like 7 and under. 8-9 are just like in the middle. I dont think there are guidelines carved anywhere.

depends on position, # of players in the hand, and the people/blinds after you.

sometimes they're rags, sometimes they're riches. generally speaking i just hate offsuit A6 and down. suited A6 and down are like dirty cloths- a step up from rags.
