swagger
This term captures a specific blend of confidence and arrogance, where the physical movement of the body serves as a public declaration of superiority. It suggests a deliberate performance of power, often intended to intimidate others or signal a high status, whether earned or imagined.
When used as a noun, the word extends beyond a physical gait to describe a general aura of self-assurance. In modern slang and sports contexts, it often carries a more positive connotation of style, charisma, and effortless cool, though it still retains an edge of bravado.
