Someone's stalking me... :p

What a great way to start the day... Someone is really trying to figure out what the hell's running through my mind. This is my Stats page for my Unsent Letters blog:

This is too funny...and flattering at the same time. Haven't had a stalker since 2008. Wooh! Still got swag, me thinks!

Tumblr ruined the word "Swag" for me.


SRSLY, these kids should stop using the word "swag". Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!

Swagger. What does it really mean?


According to http://www.merriam-webster.com,

2swag·ger

noun \ˈswa-gər\

Definition of SWAGGER

1
a : an arrogantly self-confident way of walking : an act or instance of swaggering
b : arrogant or conceitedly self-assured behavior
c : ostentatious display or bravado
2
: a self-confident outlook : cockiness
I've first encountered that word from a song. It's supposed to be used by maangas people, like those rappers who sing about it. Kids from Tumblr and Twitter seem to be using the word differently, though.

I've seen people in my Twitter timeline write "Just brushed my teeth. #SWAG". How is that swag, right? These kids don't know what the word really means but use it just to look cool. Which kinda sucks.

I'm not annoyed because they're trying to sound cool. I am annoyed because kids nowadays say things without knowing/understanding their real meaning. And since I am a mom now, I am also becoming paranoid because I have a daughter who might sprinkle the F word in her sentences like there's nothing wrong with it (I WAS guilty of this). It's my job to make Brianna understand but whose job is it to make the other kids understand?
