swag
This term operates across vastly different social registers. In corporate and event contexts, it refers to free promotional items, carrying a connotation of low-cost utility. In a criminal context, it describes stolen loot, evoking the image of a heavy bag of spoils.
When used to describe a person's demeanor, the word shifts to a slang expression of confidence and effortless style. This usage is highly informal and focuses on the visual performance of arrogance or coolness. In interior design, it refers to the physical act of draping material in a graceful curve, a usage that is more traditional and formal than the slang variants.
