The True Meaning Of "SWAG" And Its Origin by KELVINXY: 10:29am On Jan 09, 2015 |
I came across this info on twitter yesterday and I was like and i did a lil more digging on it. So i decide to enlighten those of us here who have no idea what swag truly mean, Once upon a time The word SWAG was a popular slang on every youths lips,but without the knowledge of its true meaning and origin. So here is the true meaning of the popular slang "Swag" and its origin. The term swag was invented in the early 1960's by a group of gay men in Hollywood. It stands for "secretly we are gay" and was most frequently used as code on posters announcing gay org_ies."
