Probably more than it should, but I always knew it as the free bag or stiff you got from radio stations at events and now it's everywhere. Ihop has waffles that have swag, people turn their swagger on, some guy was walking down the street wearing a shirt that said SWAG four times and aligned the words so going diagonal from top to bottom, left to right it said SWAG.

Sometimes it can be funny like the Rifles Burs video, look it up, because it is deliberately stupid and fun. Will Farrell had a tweet about waking up covered in bitches because of his SWAG being left on.

So when used as a joke and it's funny I don't mind it, but everything else really irritates me and I don't really know why. The first thought I had when I saw that guy with his shirt was that someone should dick punch him and burn the shirt for being a douche lol.

Anybody else find this annoying or another word that is used regularly that is utterly stupid?

It's a horrible word.

 

[Hrothgar]

This thread isn't about Mr. Swag is it?

 

[drunkendonuts]

i'm still kind of confused as to what it means, i grew up learning it meant all the free shit you got at like concerts or conventions, like lanyards or hats or even shirts.

 

[WanderingWind]

If it helps any swag is almost "all that and a bag of chips" status. You'll only hear it from middle age midwesterners by the end of winter.

I never liked SWAG, and I really can't stand YOLO, but not so much that I would dick punch someone for wearing a shirt I didn't like.

Stuff We All Get

So you have stuff we all get or you turn your stuff we all get on? Lol. I know the original meaning, it's just how it is thrown around now which is annoying at times.

I never liked SWAG, and I really can't stand YOLO, but not so much that I would dick punch someone for wearing a shirt I didn't like.

There's a YOLO county in California lol. I shook my head because that damn acronym came to my head. I wonder how they handle it and a daily basis? Lol.

I wouldn't actually hit him, but it was what popped up in my head and I found it funny because when someone gets dick punched it's usually funny.

[billy beane]

It's because you don't speak Swaghili.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Every generation of kids like buzzwords and think they're the first to use them, who cares.

I've only heard white people (or sycophants) use it in real life, honestly.

SWAG is nothing when compared to "epic". That word use to mean something, like describing monumental works of art such as Ben Hur or Gilgamesh. Now "epic" is that whore you would find in the back ally behind a Denny's; deprived of all value and worth, being sold out for temporal lust of the flesh. I'm sick of seeing "epic" paired up w/ other adjectives like "win" or "fail". The worst offender are those half-assed youtube playlists that are solely comprised of Hans Zimmer and Two Steps from Hell. The ignorant SOBs that put together said playlists have no musical taste, it probably hasn't even occurred to them that there are many more genre's outside of "trailer music". I mean, Hans Zimmer and TSfH have their good tracks, but they are highly overrated and there are many other brilliant composers that are completely ignored. *end rant
