The
art of swangling is one that almost defies rigid
definition. In its earliest form, the word was used to describe procuring or achieving
something in an uncommon or non-traditional
way. Since, however the word has flourished into something much, much more. To swangle someone could
mean anything from besting them in a contest of wits to dunking in their face in the NBA Finals. It's possible to out-swangle someone, re-swangle someone, under-swangle someone, or even sudo-swangle someone, but there is no such thing as over-swangling. You can swangle an alligator, un-swangle a knot, or calculate your swangle of attack. Swangling, as stated, is an
art, and true swanglers worldwide know that there are many definitons and uses for the word, the majority of which cannot be listed here. Above all, however, swangling is what the swangler makes of it. Put your mind to it, and you can swangle just about anything.
