NCAWS: National Coalition Against the Word Swag!

Is anyone else tired of the word "swag?" I think this is the most highly overused word of 2008 and it deserves to be banned from the English vernacular. Don't get me wrong...I love the song "Swagger Like Us" but I think it should've stopped after that. I mean...the last thing I'd want to hear from someone is that they like my "swag." WTF??? Swag is something that a 21 year-old dope boy has who just got his first old school whip on 22s and walks around wit $10,000 in his pocket wrapped up in rubberbands. I'm a 23 year-old college graduate. I don't have "swag." I have amour propre. For those who don't know, that's a sense of self-esteem. And that self-esteem just so happens to come off to look very confident. So, for the record, don't ever say I have a nice swag or that you like my swag because it will just annoy me. I pray that the rest of you follow my lead, join the NCAWS, and refrain from using the word "swag" from this day forward. 

P.S.

I know the word "swag" is supposed to be a shortened form of the word "swagger." But for the record, a "swag" is defined as a garland or drapery, and is also defined as a swaying or lurching movement. So when you tell someone they have "swag" you're pretty much telling them that they are a Christmas wreath that moves like Lurch from the Addams Family.
