Swag VS. Swagger

Only if people can get it right. It really annoys the hell outta me that people don't know the difference nor meaning of certain words and the fact that it's being thrown around like a $2 dollar whore. It's like guys wearing pink. I can't stand it(that's another story that I'll get into later)

2.	swag
	Promotional merchandise for a band, record label, or other entity in the music business, usually distributed at concerts. May include t-shirts, stickers, promo CDs, posters, etc. Often free, but not necessarily; a t-shirt or record purchased at a concert might still be considered swag, especially if it is a design or release that is not readily available in the mass market. Many independent record labels throw in a handful of free swag when they ship out mail-order packages (stickers, sampler CDs, etc). The chief difference between swag and regular merchandise is that its purpose is not to make a profit, but to promote the band/label, and reward its supporters by giving them something cool and unique. I picked up some great swag at the concert last night.
