This popular internet slang has taken its physical form in many youth lives and some adult ones.
My question is: WHY
Firstly, you must question the...
Origin
According to http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/swag, the term swag was originated during the 1520's, holding the dictionary definition of to move heavily or unsteadily. The word swag was derived the verb to swing, which originated from the 1300's word sway.
According to Merriam-Webster, the term swagger or swag is defined as:
1 : to conduct oneself in an arrogant or superciliously pompous manner; to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence
2 : to boast; to brag
In my opinion, the term swag was short-formed from swagger, which is spelled similarly to swig, which originated from gulp, which is a variation of swallow, which may cause choking, but most would think that's stupid. And so the term stupid is an attribute of asshole, which derived from the term bastard, which includes the characterstics of idiotic, insolent and impolite.
... I just word-vomitted. Sorry.
Next factor to wonder about this social media trend is...
WHO THE FFFF-FALLING RAINBOWS WOULD CREATE SUCH A WORD?
DIDN'T THEY KNOW IT WOULD COMPLETELY RAPE THE MINDS OF INNOCENT YOUNG PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD?!?!?!?!
... Well, apparently not.
Unfortunately, media, being the idiotic thing it is, has NO IDEA who came up with this term.
That's quite ironic, considering media is the method by which one makes something viral...
People all over the internet have different opinions as to who deemed the word swag an international trend. I myself have no idea who did as well.
Now, time for the
RANT
Considering this exceptionally lame trend has practically taken over the young generation, I have lost practically all faith in future humanity so far.
Not only has this word raped their personalities, but also the clothing style and way of speech.
Honestly, is it necessary to swear every other 0.00000000000000001 seconds?
And do you girls need to wear really short crop tops, push-up bras and unnaturally-short shorts?
Why do you guys need to act so loud and obnoxious and low-ride, which is technically not wearing your pants?
And really, walking around like a pirate penguin, whether you're low-riding or not, is not 'cool.'
Every time I see one of these kids at school, walking around thinking they're sooo cool, I say:
Yeeeep. That's DEFINITELY a 9th grader.
You Grade 9-ers are also pretty short, a bit chubby, (girls) wear too much make-up and (guys) travel in groups of 23948712983579 people.
Must you children make it anymore obvious?
Now, there aren't only 9th grade 'swaggers' out there.
I've seen plenty of 11th and 12th grade ones. Now those are the worst of the two.
These guys have the legitimate Captain-Blackbeard's-Limp walk and their pants so low that their bright conspicuous boxers look like their mom's freshly-hung curtains.
This clothing swag isn't cool, in my opinion. It is the most horrible display of the 21st century fashion sense and pretty much symbolizes the end of logical human apparel.
Oh the don't even get me started on the songs that have the term swag in them.
The worst of them all is Justin Bieber's hit single "Boyfriend."
This song practically spells out the idiocracy that has taken over the minds of teenagers.
Within one of the verses of the song, Justin Bieber has warped the term swag and has altered it to end with a -y sound. And the word swaggy was born.
The verse is as follows:
Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend
You could be my girlfriend until the world ends
Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and
Voice goin' crazy on this hook like a whirlwind
Swaggy
... SWAGGY?!
FOR GOD'S SAKE, MAN, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER
THERE ISN'T ANY TIME FOR ANY MORE IDIOTIC WORDS
And thank goodness society agreed with that.
Fortunately, swaagy has been deemed by almost everyone as stupid and what-the-fuck.
A bit of my faith in humanity was restored when I heard about that.
And so, with that bit of regained faith ends my rant about "swag."
