Runlock Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I am sick and tired of this whole "swag" thing. Has it really not run its course by now? It isn't nearly as cool or clever as you think it is. It isn't as cool or clever as ANYONE thinks it is. Just stop it. please. It has run its course. It isn't clever at all. Swag isn't taken seriously anymore. That's the point. If this was a serious thread your complaint would be totally valid, but this isn't a serious thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTboi Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 People still think the term "swag" is stupid and for retards/douchebags/idiots? That's so 2012, lol. Honestly, the guy was probably using it in a joking way. I really thought society outgrew this haha. There has been several definitions of swag and ways it has been used over the years. The fact people keep on hating on the term is starting to make them just as bad as they make it out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaths.Reap3r Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) swag Use Swag in a sentence swag 1 [swag] Show IPA noun 1. a suspended wreath, garland, drapery, or the like, fastened up at or near each end and hanging down in the middle; festoon. 2. a wreath, spray, or cluster of foliage, flowers, or fruit. 3. a festoon, especially one very heavy toward the center. 4. a swale. Final Answer: No. slang originating from the Scottish slang word "swagger" which was a description of the way some Scots walk (in a swaying motion). The word was altered in the English language to mean "the way one presents oneself". It has run its course. It isn't clever at all. Swag isn't taken seriously anymore. That's the point. If this was a serious thread your complaint would be totally valid, but this isn't a serious thread. please shut up everyone else said to... to you guys and everyone else that posts with definitions thinking they're cool. it also makes you look like a complete waste of time. so uh. shut up? everyone? and actually focus on the main point of the thread. no need to look like a smart &#!

Eyeless Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) All this poor guy wanted was to see cool screenshots of your favorite Warframe looking stylish, aka 'Swaggin' or...something. I think.

VoidWraith Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) The thing is, alot of these supposed "trendy" sounding things are actually tired and played out. If you still find it fascinating or amusing then good for you. Honestly though, I've seen and heard enough of it. Words like: Swag, YOLO, FTW....etc... It's gotten to the point where someone will just look at them and not really care as much or just glance over and ignore the term completely. This can be said with other words/phrases like: lol, rofl, lmao, wtf, wth, etc.... (Lord knows I've used them at times too) It's become a weird response to almost any and everything. It's also become a filler word used at the end of sentences. You can say what ever you want, 1st amendment, freedom of speech. I'll be leaving this thread though, proper communication is slowly dying out. Edited April 1, 2014 by VoidWraith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulEchelon Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 *sighs* I'm maybe one of three people that actually posted pics of "swagger"ing warframes. Virtually everyone else just took a big dump on this topic trying to be "smart" and "anti-hipster". Good job ruining a simple, fun little thread guys. The internet is a better place because of you.
