Way to try to elevate the discussion. Semiotics can **********. btw, I'd say that you have swag.

swagger? T.I.'s got swagger. LeBron's got swagger. not a bunch of suburban kids wearing button downs, tight jeans, and desert boots... unless you use the terms 'kop' and 'jawnz'. then you can have some internet swaaaaag

Confidence is different than swagger

its how you carry yourself. it's being natural and cool, all while only being yourself. it's an attitude, you either have it or don't. swagger is not related to wearing nice clothes, you don't need nice clothes to have swagger.

On here? "Swagger" is a rhetorical device.

After all, who could possibly not be in favor of it?

It's a bit like how GW Bush used to use "freedom".

If you ask this you have no swagger. Swagger is a vibe, it can not be measured.

How do you obtain swagger? Is there such thing as automatic swagger ie put this this and this on and if it fits, you have swagger?

I'm not looking so much an answer to every single question, but a discussion and I'm hoping the questions will help direct that.


u dont has it.
