Noun
swag (plural swags)
SWAG
The most used word in the whole *** universe. Douche bags use it, your kids use it, your mail man uses it, and your *** dog uses it. If you got swag, you generally wear those shitty hats side way, and your ass hanging out like a *** goof cause your pants are half way down your white ass legs. To break down the word, it means (Secretly We Are Gay). It is also a word that means to represent yourself/ the way you represent yourself, baggy clothes, shitty hats, small penis and basically a way to say your afraid to come out of the closet.

Secretly we are gay.
