Recovering form the finding out that swag originally came from the name of a group of men in the 60s called "secretly we are gay" they used swag as a way of identifying each other.

Um...no. It's an abbreviation for "swagger".

 

Which apparently is an abbreviation for lavish, Stylish, moronic, poser, and of course "I lack a vocabulary that isn't embellished in slang.".

 

On topic: I'm making me some food. specifically cheeseburgers on a griddle.

Yeah, the term gay wasn't used to refer to homosexuals until the 80s. Prior to that period, the term "homosexual" sufficed. Before the 20th century, the term queer was used to refer to counterfeit currency but in the 1900s, was used to refer to something odd. Again, not until the 80s was it used to refer to homosexuals. The term "butt pirate" came was a comical propoganda type term to cast poor light on any sea farer who endeavored in obtaining gold or any sort of "booty." Booty, originally meaning treasure, was corrupted into also referring to one's posterior because of its closeness in sound to butt. In order to control fear of these vicious pirates in the masses, they used the bastardization of the term to create a comical name for the pirates.

 

OT: Teaching a history lesson.

 

If I haven't gotten a half-decent point across, here's the TL;DR:

 

Whooves is wrong. SWAG used as an acronym did not come about until the 2000s, when some 14 year old kid on 4chan thought it would be funny if he got the entire world convinced of this falsity of which you have had the misfortune to be informed.

 

Chuck is correct, as swag was just a shortened term of swagger that claimed its roots in the rap and disco plagued 70s.

It also stood for "stuff we all get" which was coined at conventions with the popular booth SWAG.

 

anywho, chilling out and deciding what to do with my time today.
