If you didn't look at my poll, (which, by the way, you should) I see that many of you hate to much swag. I can relate, because that is what I voted, (High five guys!) and no one has, luckily, picked puppies. If you live under a rock, or any where you might now hear stuff, you must have heard swag. Originating in Ireland as the word "Swagger" which meant walking in a wavy manner, the being idiotized (Meaning to change into a less meaningful way) to "Swag". It means to be cool or whatever you want to call it, and growing to such popularity to be on Wikipedia, Dictionary.com, and Oxford dictionary. There are many urban legends of how swag really originated, but Ireland seems most likely. If you have any theories or suggestions, leave a comment on this post, thank you for reading.
Good job, Carter! I really enjoy your blog. It's really interesting. And although I already knew about the origins of "swag", I found your post very informative.
