An infuriatingly overused and inappropriately used synonym for overconfidence. The cocky douchebag kind of overconfidence. Stupid teenagers use this word when they can't think of any other word to describe their approval for something.

Swag is something people say when their "I'm a ****, please hit me" shirt is in the wash.

A load of twatty 12 year old girls always use it when referring to Bieber and themselves.
I think it just means arrogance.
'I got swag on' I think means 'feelin' good today'

I'd assume... think it comes from 'swagging' like strutting because you think you're top dog.

Remember ladies, boys have swag and men have class.

A shortened form of the word swagger, I believe

Verb:
Walk or behave in a very confident and typically arrogant or aggressive way: "he swaggered along the corridor".

Noun:
A very confident and typically arrogant or aggressive gait or manner.

Adjective:
Denoting a coat or jacket cut with a loose flare from the shoulders.

Synonyms:
verb. strut - brag - prance - peacock* - boast - swank - vaunt
noun. strut - swank
adjective. swell - stylish - chic - spruce

*I had no idea peacock was a verb, excuse me while I go laugh myself to tears.
For evidence, see Ke$ha's "Tik Tok." Specificially the line "And now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger/But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"

Long story short, more stuff rhymes with "swag" than "swagger," and you avoid embarrassing stories about only dating people who look like this guy:

Silly kids, it's not swag....

You are talking about shwag.

"Get off my lawn!"

EDIT: No really, you kids and your internet 'memes' being real words are starting to piss me off. Stop it.
Shwag? You mean crappy pot low quality marijuana?

It's an ability that causes confusion and doubles the opponents attack; this will cause the opponent to inflict more damage to themselves when they're hurt in their confusion, but can easily backfire. Having too much swagger will result in having the shit beaten out of you.

Exhibit A) I went to Anime eXpo in LA last week, and picked up a bunch of free swag. Free pins, bags, posters, shit like that.

Exhibit B) I was at the rap battle last week and showed off my awesome swag. I am also a talentless teenage attention-whoring idiot.

Exhibit A is the only way that I would or do use the word, unless I'm attempting to make fun of said attention-whoring idiots.

Er...Swag IS slang for treasure or stolen goods, and is not related to the other definition of swag that comes from the shortened form of swagger.

L2slang.

Something teenagers use to make you wanna smack 'em?
Cause thats what happens when people post to facebook about their swag, so it must work.
;D
To add to this, its one of the things that if people claim to have them, they don't really have them.

A Swag is sort of like a small tent that typically fits one or two people they are usually rather small and easily carried.

I'm old and British so I think Swag is something that cartoon robbers have written on their loot bags.

Swag is pretty much along these lines-
Being a pimp
Like a Boss
Or gotten alot of nice/ cool stuff

In my opinion its like having ego and stuff because many people who have swag tend to have bagfuls of ego and show it too :p

No f***ing idea. Apart from a portable tent/sleeping bag, but I don't think that's what you're getting at.

Off topic, but when are they going to be adding an alternate outfit for Magneto in Ultimate? I know that is the outfit they removed due to Spanish complaints, but the OCD part of me twitches at having every single other alternate costume than his.

I won't even mind paying for it, I just want to complete my collection.
