What do you think of the word Swag?

Just curious what people think of the word Swag?

 

I think it's alright, depending on the context it's used in and who it's used by.

 

It is a commonly used and accepted term for a collection of jewelry and other such luxury accoutrements. Its use is typically (in my experience) used a bit dismissively to describe someone else's collection of such items. To me, it is not a positive word but not entirely negative, either.

 

Swag means money or any of your stuff taken by a thief

 

Honest truth, I don't like it. It just sounds old fashioned to me.

Note: it's funny how there's more comments than votes.

 

This is what comes to mind when I hear swag:

 

"Swag" means "hip", "fly", "cool" and similar things. Personally I think it sounds ghetto and ignorant... Just my opinion...

 

When I hear "Swag" I immediately think of Gene Kelly and Fred Astair, the original swaggers. I refuse to acknowledge all this modern crap that tries to associate with this word and come even close to those monuments of swag

 

Swag means cool and expensive items
