1. ORIGINAL Defintion: "Super Wild Ass Guess"
This term arose out of the military from WWII, generally attributed to field artillery officers who asked their spotters to "swag it" when asked for an approximation of how to adjust. This expanded to all of the military, and then entered use by the rest of the world. "Swag" with this meaning has been around for nearly 70 years and is still used widely in the military and business world to this day.
2. Something given out to everyone within a specific group of people, be it the PTA, or all the attendants of a seminar, or even all the people visiting a certain booth at a convention. Also items within a bag of the same name as in "Swag bag"
3. Very recently (late 2000s, early 2010s), coming out of the ghetto, a shortening of the word swagger, used in place of extreme confidence/cocky attitude. Also see tude

A term reinvented by the younger generation. Swag is an abstract and often intangible concept. Generally is used to describe a certain way of carrying oneself that conveys a certain effortlessness in all aspects of life - someone who has "swag" employs a fluid body language and lazy or careless behavior to give off a sense of inner peace and absolute confidence. Clothing also plays a large role in one's swag - generally it is associated with urban hip-hop themed apparel, generally with either bright colors or the prominent use of white so as to appear more "clean". this look does not work for everyone, and is generally only used by the upper class. more poverty-ridden individuals who seek swag can use a variety of clothes - ultimately swag is not about one particular style, but about the individual's ability to find and maintain a style that suits their personality.
"Damn son what are you tryna do with them jordans? How long you been saving up for that shit? You be wearing them bright white jordans with your plaid shirt and your ratty-ass dreadlocks, nah son. Nah. you walk around your block in that shit you gon get shot."
"Damn son Nardwuar has more swag than most rappers. He nerdy as all get out but he don't give a fuck."

What dipshits who think they're cool say. Swag is basically the most overused term, mainly by faggy "popular kids" who think that teenage angst will get them far in life. These kids have no life, and therefore need to kill themselves.

A canvas bedroll commonly used in Australia. Consists of a thin mattress inside a canvas covering, may contain poles to keep the roof raised like a small tent, insect mesh to keep bugs out and other creature comforts. Rolls up for compact storage afterwards. Most swags are about 2 ft (60cm) wide and about 1 ft (30cm) thick once rolled up.
1)Got sick of things in the city, so I chucked my swag on the back of the bike and headed out into the bush for a few weeks. Rolled it out on the top of a hill and watched the beautiful starry sky while I fell asleep. Easy way to forget my problems.
2) Mind if I stay at your place after the party? I bought my swag, I'll just roll it out in oyur lounge room.
