A word that was extremely overused from late 2010 to early 2012, and is now nothing more than a joke. The word "swag" once had many meanings, such as "Stuff we all get", "Scientific wild ass guess", and even just "stolen goods". The term was eventually used as ghetto slang for "swagger", and just like all ghetto slang, it caught on as a term used by preppy teenfags and douchebags alike. The overuse of the word annoyed a lot of internet users and eventually spawned a popular meme that spread though Facebook claiming that swag really is "a 60's acronym thought up by closet homosexuals standing for "secretly we are gay" ", and even though that is a load of bullshit, it actually got the sheeple of Facebook to stop using the term.
This day in age, saying swag in a non-sarcastic way in public will probably just end up getting your ass beat, as it is no longer "in style", even for preppy teenfags. The term is still used by internet trolls, and as a joke, but that's about it.

1841: "How about we split this swag up evenly?"
1996: "Do you want some free swag and a brochure?"
2011: "You're just jealous cuz I got swag."
2015: "Who the fuck even says swag anymore?"

SWAG stands for Stuff We All Get, typically when attending an expo or trade show. You get SWAG when people at booths hand out free stuff like pens, prizes, etc.
Look at all of this SWAG!

A slang word originating from Shakespeare's use of the word "swaggering" in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It is not used in the same manner, but that's the first time it appears in the English language.
It was not created by the Scottish, by men in the United States to express their sexuality, by Jay Z (lol yes, people actually say this stuff), the unintelligent, by teenagers, or younger children. The word "swagger" was made by Scandanavians as early as the 1530s, but Shakespeare's use of the word gave it a new meaning (as early as 1590).
Many hate this word because they believe that black rappers made it, and so many people use it so often. It compels them to get on the internet with the sole purpose of bashing others for using the word.
It's very sad how so many people who insult others for using this word don't understand the word's origin, nor the basics of any language... As time passes, languages evolve.
If you think I'm wrong, use the internet to learn something. Do your own research, don't take my word for it.
