Wow, people are ignorant. The word swag has been around since the 1500's. Which you would know if you picked up a real book once in awhile. Or hell even looked at the lamps/lights section at Home Depo or Lowes.
Swag has two meanings.
1. Illegally acquired goods.
2. to sway or sag. Like a Hanging Swag Lamp/light. Remember those horrible glass grape lights from the 60's at grandma's house? Those are a type of swag lights.
Pirates used it in old movies and books, which leads me to believe it only got popular because of losers who jumped on the shitty pirate bandwagon since PotC came out. The same goes for all of those other "new" and "cool" words/sayings; some douche bag copied it and pretended it was original. Come on people just look at TV, originality is dead and people are just ripping of works of those long dead, since the dead can't sue.

My friend showed me how to put up and swag my curtains, so they all hung evenly in the middle.
Back at their hideout, the pirates split the swag between them.

Get the Swagged mug.Stuff/Shit We All Get - Relating to the trade show convention industry, where exhibitors hand out "free stuff" to visitors. Most of the time these items are purely promotional materials, and are fairly worthless. ie. pencils, mugs, and mouse pads.
SWAG always has the company name, logo, slogan, product, service, and contact information clearly printed somewhere on the item/s.
Some convention goers have made a hobby of collecting as much swag as possible, and compete with others at the show.
