Lugging an engine (in my opinion) is when you press the throttle further you get no change in acceleration. That applies if you need to accelerate, just maintaining a speed you can go very low in RPM, but need to downshift if you want to increase your speed.

My VX would max out at 120 MPH in 3rd gear (theoretically) but would also pull away in 5th gear at 30 MPH (1000 RPM).
