Ok I noticed one of our readers "Sweet N Stuff" commented on Went not having any "swag" I have one question... What the hell does "swag" mean? I guess I am not up to date with today's lingo. I am not in with the crowd LOL. I've heard ppl say swag and swagger but have not a clue as to what it is. can somebody explain that to me please?

oh please, you are so in with the crowd in all the right ways. ok here is the low down on swag: I believe we were referring to a certain attitude in his walk, which doesn't seem overly exaggerated or arrogant. Here is what the google search turned up: apperance ,style ,or the way he or she presents them selves; the way one carries their self. Or also what many in hollywood get, swag--the free goodies given out at parties and award shows. Don't know why they call it that!
p.s. I think W has a definite style and presence, but not a overly machismo arrogant one..from appearances...?
Hey SoHo,
S E here, aka Sweet N Stuff. I think wheter or not someone has "swag" is subjective. I also think that the term can reference a single thing (personality) or a lot of things about a person. IMO, it's many things, the way a person walks, talks, they're personality, an exemplary talent, even their clothes. But it's not so much what they wear but how they wear it. IOW, the term can reference the coolness about a person. President Obama is the example I'll use. His swag is a combination of his incredible presence and confidence, his sense of humor, the way he walks, talks, edginess (if that's a word) everything. He's just so sexy-cool. It's all his own as well it should be. However, I think his swag is somewhat similar to Denzel's. Wentworth is extraordinary in the way he seems so polite not to mention his beauty. However, there's nothing edgy about him.
You know, after reading you guys' comments, I believe Went does have a little "swag/swagger"! At first, I was thinking of the word in the sense that it's most used - style, finesse, "coolness", etc. But you know, Wentworth has his own "swag": style - no other guy I know could dress the way he does & pull it off, still looking adorable, finesse - do I even need to comment on that one *wink*... I mean just look what he does to us & we don't even know the guy lol, coolness - I think everything about him is cool! So like Sobe & SE said, his swag is all his own & he's got lots of it!
Yes! I've said many times that Wentworth has mad presence. Even though he says he's shy, IMO, he exudes confidence. Maybe he's different when he's chatting (or attempting to) up a woman. But AGCGirl is right, his personality doesn't emit arrogance. And IMO, that's a good thing. And I really cannot see how any straight woman could not notice him even in a room filled with handsome men. Wentworth has this kind of old school, intellectual swag. He is hella sexy! He definitely has a nice walk and I absolutely love to watch and hear him talk especially when he uses his hands. Wentworth is so smooth and refined. I mean, theres not a rough edge anywhere. But at the same time, I can still see him working on a car or chopping some wood (in the snow). His style absolutely entails a level of coolness, but again, it's his alone.
OH I should mention that I was watching 24 as usual on a Monday night & I saw the PB preview I posted the other day & dammit when the video ends & they show Went & Dom walking then Went looks back - I had to smile b/c I saw nothing but SWAG right there... don't believe me, watch it again! SWAG fo' sho'!!!
