Swag

From what I can see swag breaks down like this: back in the 1600s swag meant goods gained by theft, or booty. I saw the word rise again in a similar form in the late 80s when people would get cool little free gifts or promo stuff for attending conferences. After this swag split into to categories. Free promo items, pins, and the second category was more things gotten for free for attending things. at Wow cons there was often rare and incredible swag given only to those in attendance, so gamers began to associate the word swag with rare or really awesome freebies. From there swag moved on to a replacement for anything cool or awesome. The whole swag meaning secretly we are gay thing, well I'm pretty sure that's just gay dudes wishing all the hot pirate dudes in movies were secretly gay. yes, pirates used the word swag as well as booty, I can understand the confusion what with booty being used but that's another misunderstood word for another time
Aaar matey we be gettin some swag worth havin from the pillaging of this unguarded fort.

I got this awesome rare one of a kind ride in my swag bag at the last con I was at.

Swag

A word that has been used far too much. Supposed to mean coolness or something silly like that. You probably don't have swag since you are look it up, which believe me, by the standards of other people I know who 'have swag'. is just fine.
