When Swag = Wins...

swag has nothing to do with belief in your own abilities and the abilities of your teammates. That is "confidence" and you can look that up.

swag is a made up word for kids that are too cool to use the word confidence and have to make a word up that seems cooler to them.

its stupid

to each his own but its stupid. The next time your boss looks at his team and feels confident that he will be able to complete the tasks set before him I guarantee the word "swag" will not come up in his thought process. The next time you submit a resume with the word swag on it, you won't get brought in. The next time you are brought in on an interview and are asked to explain why you are the best for the position and your confidence level in how you could fulfill the role the interviewer is seeking to fill and you use the word "swag" you won't get the job.

if you think Cam isn't working in the real world you are crazy. If you think he or anyone else in the spotlight does not try to increase their "cool" factor so the GP will buy stupid poo that they endorse you are even crazier than that.

swag is a word that encompasses too many slang uses for it to mean anything at all. The old saying that if you have two quarterbacks you have none. If a words means everything, it likely means nothing at all. Since it is used as a verb, adverb, noun, and adjective as a root word, prefex, suffix and acronym, I'd say it qualifies as something completely lacking of any real substance in the English language.

But go ahead. After all I guess its cool to look and sound like an idiot these days right?

"swag" is an abbreviated version of "swagger" which according to Merriam-Webster has been in use since 1596.

Definition:

1: to conduct oneself in an arrogant or superciliously pompous manner; especially: to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence

I rest my case.

LOL, are the personal insults necessary?

An intelligent person can argue without resorting to name calling.

What part of:

"especially: to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence"

didn't I understand?

too funny the corn cobs some of you guys stick up your butts, you bunch of codgers.

"grrr....what's with this "swag" stuff this young whipper snappers are running on about?!?!?! in my day blah blah blah blah...."

seriously....an argument over the semantics and definition of "swag"??? really? feeling it necessary to start a thread about whether someone buys into this swag thing or not or what it would take to do it?
