what is proper use of the word SWAG

Question

rhondasommer · Answer

I think it originates from "Swagger" which is a confident way of walking or a style. I think "Swag" is a short form of this that can be used in the same way as "cool", but means more like "Cool and Classy" 

I think it would be used like "Hes got the Swag" or "Thats Swag" 

It should probably used in the same way as "Confidence" is, but usually used as "The Confidence"...lol.

I agree, the word Swag does originate from the word 'Swagger". But I think that the proper definition of Swag is pride. As Swagger means that you are proudly walking, it would make sense that if you shorten the word, it would shorten the definition to something like pride.

But that's just what I think from drawing clues from the context it's used in.
