The word "swag" originated from the 16th century and is of Scandinavian origin.

It means "bulging bag". Which game the name to the bags that burglars are famous for carrying with them on burglaries, a swag bag (a bag that is bulging with items).

It is also the name given to a piece of fabric or curtain used to hang in a drooping curve style.

Unfortunately in the 21st century, the uneducated and immature youth think the word means they are cool. In fact, they are using the word incorrectly and therefore make themselves look even more of an idiot.
