"Swag" originates from Old Scandinavian.

In English, it translates as "a loose bulging bag" and is used to describe either the bag that a burglar uses to carry stolen goods or as an insult towards someone who looks baggy and ridiculous.

In the 1960's, "swag" first became a social epidemic. It was used in gay movement groups to advertise gay clubs, gay parties and gay orgies. In these groups, "swag" stands for "secretly we are gay".

So, when someone says they are "swag", they are letting you know they are gay (or most probably don't even realise what swag stands for).
