SilentSnipersZ wrote The most commonly used word in the whole universe. Kids use it, your mail man uses it, and your dog uses it. If you got swag, you generally wear those hats side way, and your butt hanging out like a goof cause your pants are half way down your white legs. To break down the word, it means (Secretly We Are Gay). It is also a word that means to represent yourself/the way you represent yourself, baggy clothes, bad hats and basically a way to say your afraid to come out of the closet. That is my take on swag if you don't agree I don't care because it is true.


No, your definition is false. Swag is short for swagger;

swagger
Walk or behave in a very confident and typically arrogant or aggressive way: "he swaggered along the corridor".

The "Secretly We Are Gay" thing was created in the 60's and is not relevant at all to the actual meaning of the word. However, the word swagger dates all the way back to Shakesperian times.

"What hempen homespuns have we swaggering here"
- Puck (From Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream")

I don't get why do people have to "hate" on what other people do.
If you don't like it don't use it, no one is forcing you if someone wants to use YOLO let them it's their life not yours.
That's like if someone told you to stop playing video games would you like it?
I wouldn't so if someone wants to be illiterate let them.

If you're in middle school I'd say it's okay to use the term. While you're at it, throw YOLO in the sentence.

Yea you got SWAG if you wear a certain kind of brand of clothing and wearing hats that have sports teams that you don't know. Maybe wearing some overprice piece of crap can make you feel better about yourself. You definitely got "Swag".

The concept of swag is a joke. The kids that have adopted the word, are just laughable.
