What were The Dismal Traders wearing?
Dismal Traders = Undertaker or Funeral Director.

Time to FIRE up this thread with today's CLASSIC comment from the coffee gal at Whole Foods...
She being an obviously style-conscious person, (she looked marvelous) stopped me before I turned away with my coffee to say (gesturing head to toe) that she really, REALLY liked my SWAG. Are you kidding me?!?!?! I have swag?!? Now I have to GooGoo "Swag" to see where I stand, but my "kids" all tell me it's good -- to their shock.
What rain? It's a GREAT day!!

Well bling is jewlery so "swag" is what? Swagger...?
My mother (88 years of age, but don't say I said so...) told me that "swag," or swagger was an OLD word from HER era. I was under the impression that it had to be uber-contemporary. Both of us are Waayyy behind on such matters, Bob.
Thank you guys for such kind comments!

It depends on the context in which it's used. In this context, "swag" is indeed short for "swagger", which is commonly defined as "Having a demeanor of confidence; presenting comfortability with his/her self." However, in modern usage it can also be an acronym referring to free gifts given to attendees of special events, i.e. "Stuff We All Get".My mother (88 years of age, but don't say I said so...) told me that "swag," or swagger was an OLD word from HER era.

"Swag" used to mean "loot". If you looked, you could probably find a cartoon from 100 years ago with a burglar wearing a black mask and carrying a sack labelled "swag". Or possibly a political cartoon highlighting graft.
