What is "swag"?

Post Reply New Topic

When people talk about having swag, or being "swagged out", what are they referring to?

Not exactly sure, I am pretty sure MTV started it though.

Pretty much means looking cool, or in style

Swag == "Stolen With A Gun" (So I've been told).

So I'm assuming that to be "Swagged Out" in this context means to be wearing a lot of loot or "bling".

Merriam-Webster defines "Swag" as a type of drapery or a lurching walk. So in this context, "Swagged Out" means to be dressed in voluminous clothing or to walk with a lurch or a "swagger".

"Swagger" is the root of it. If you know what it means to swagger then the term should be self explanatory

I have heard the bags of free stuff you get at conferences, fashion shows, film festivals, etc. referred to as "swag" so I think it means cool stuff of some sort.

A swagman (also called a swaggie, sundowner or tussocker) is an old Australian and New Zealand term describing an underclass of transient temporary workers, who travelled by foot from farm to farm carrying the traditional swag (bedroll), particularly during the Depression of the 1890s.

So "Swag" is goods or possessions, and has only recently come to be associated with prizes and tchotchkes (small toys, gewgaws, knickknacks, baubles, or trinkets) that are given away by radio stations.

Kind of a silly reason but some guys did a mock product of swag in one of my classes senior year.

Marketing class

Oh and they were "cool people".

umm i gues it means to have a certain "flair" then we could come to the question well what is flair then its to behave in a way with certain manerism and a certain way of braking habit that shows a amount uncalculated reach for perfection. if you do someting with enough swag you will leave people in aw about how its done if you do something without swag it will look kinda dull no matter how awesome it is. although doing something truely amazing without any swag or flair could make it seem more swag because you show its the most normal thing you'd ever do while its so awesome.

I was asking because I heard a guy say it on Maury, he said his being swagged out was why a woman was trying to pin her baby on him, and didn't know what swag was.

'Swag' is colloquial slang for possessions, often expensive ones.

'Swagged out' would mean rich.

I think the guy on maury is saying that the woman is trying to 'pin her baby on him' as he has a lot of money and she could get a large amount of child support from him.

Swag = Being tricked out/ filled with bling (real or fake)

it could also mean:

getting positive attention from Girls (if you're a guy) or Guys (if you're a girl).

and a bunch of meanings people made up
