As many are being told that "swag" means "secretly we are gay"

In mainstream use it certainly doesn't...(such as saying he got swag....its not he got secretly we are gay but

In actuality "swag" is a slang term for "swagger".


here is a more accurate definition

1. swag
Orginally from the Scottish slang word "swagger" which was a description of the way some Scots walk (in a swaying motion), the word was then misinterpreted by the English as "the way someone presents themselves". Eg, whether someone looks cool.
The word quickly made its way to the states and has ever since become the catchphrase of douchbags and tools everywhere.


so swag is not "secretly we are gay" but as i said a slang term for swagger....and the acronyms similarity was just coincidental.


there are acronyms for everything....

for example "girl"
stands for Graph Information Retrieval Language

so i guess that in high school i dated a "Graph Information Retrieval Language".....doesnt make sense...



In conlusion the secretly we are gay standing for the common use of swag is bull...it is short for swagger and people really shouldve known this instead of trying to make it into something it isnt.....

if you learned the truth on your own good for you but i am really sick of seeing people misinformed on so much stuff...

i hope this was helpful and i just want to stop the misinforming about the definition of swag

Swag means gay :confused:
dont get me wrong there are instances where it is used to mean gay and secretly.... and all i am only refering to the mainstream use....such as some kid saying he got swag....he not saying he is gay he saying that he has "style" of some form(as that seems to be how its used...)

as with every word there are multiple definitions and again im only talking about the mainstream use(the most common version)

Swag means wearing snapback hats and a basketball jersey of a team you know nothing about. And then wearing a different teams jersey the next day as long as it matches with your shoes.

I dont consider myself to have swag when I go out but I always have dress like that, I cant leave my house without a pair of nikes or J with a Hat that matches. Not all of them are douchebags, thats my style and I'm sticking to it...

Swag along with yolo were created by geniuses to pick out the smart people from the stupid people. Smart people, after inventing the phrases, never used them again in a non sarcastic fashion, while stupid people use them all the time. It's how we profile intelligence, simple as that.
