Why った after a noun デコった?

Question

Is it just an abbreviation for だった? Any nuance or just laziness?

デコった is the past tense of デコる, a slangy way to say "to decorate."

Oooh, the dictionary put it really far in the list so I didn't see it, I should've guessed, thank you – Simon Jul 07 '21 at 07:08

I think it's shortened usage of "デコりやがった" or more clearly "～しやがった(の(は))", which is strong way of saying "した" / "したの(は)", in this case the complete sentence will be "(俺の)右腕をデコレーションしたのピンクだな!?".

As far as grammar goes, there is no やがる in the original sentence. – naruto Jul 07 '21 at 09:06
@naruto I... didn't wrote any やがる in my answer? where did you find it? – Skye-AT Jul 07 '21 at 09:38

Ah, you meant デコりやがった → やがる? sorry, I just added that for clarity. Sorry if it's confusing. – Skye-AT Jul 07 '21 at 09:40
