Define "SWAG" for me

I hear this term being used alot lately, especially on the Org.

Is it safe to assume it's more than just an abbreviation for "swagger"?

WHAT does "swag" mean to you?

WHO would you say has it?

question

It's an abbreviation for swagger, but a closer synonym would be "style."

Your swag is your style, but it also refers to the level of confidence with which you pull off your personal style.

I remember people starting to use it about 7-8 years ago, and then it seemed more strictly about confidence and bravado. Now it's morphed into what I said above.

It's what you make it.

cool

Thanks.

I keep seeing it pip up and the first thing that I think to myself is "cockyness" because that's what I associate "swagger" with.

But I like your interpretation better.

IMO, when people first started using the word "swag" or "swagger" a few years ago, it was primarily being used in the black community and it sort of had the same meaning as a person having "soul" did back in the 70's and a better part of the 80's. Now, everyone is using the word to describe people who don't even have it so it's really lost it's original meaning over the last couple 2 or 3 years.

So what? It's a simple goddamn thing.

I'm a snide fuck because I told you to Google something, which people should do more often since it's there for a reason.

Why are you going off at me? Calm the fuck down. Geez...

Maybe so, but the truth sure feels good when it comes out even though it may hurt others.

Sorry that I speak my mind. shrug

OWNED! 18 up, 13 down

When someone inacts n00bish behaviour, incurring them to be bettered by something else...Therefore positioning them in an owned state (aka state of ownage)
little girl A hits big boy A in face with bat, big boy A cries, big boy A's friends heckle "OWNED" at him

Hmmmm...... not exactly. I imagined this guy yelling at the computer screen when he typed this.

Let's look at another one.

ButtHurt 1845 up, 204 down

An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Characterized by strong feelings of shame. Frequently associated with a cessation of communication and overt hostility towards the "aggressor."
Adam got butthurt when Mike stole his bitch.
-again, urbandictionary.com

Sounds accurate. nod

And you're very welcome for the link btw. I at least tried to help out and GIVE THE DEFINITION to "swag", but you lash out in a very angry response and for what? Probably attention.

Holy moly. People are so sensitive.
