+StarBrand Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Stuff We All Get Wrong... The term is much older and makes sense for Geocache goods - see this article: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/swag see definition number 1 Edited August 30, 2009 by StarBrand Quote Link to comment

The term is much older and makes sense for Geocache goods - see this article: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/swag see definition number 1 Yeah... if it's in Wikipedia, it must be correct. To say the first response is "Wrong" is just... wrong! English is a living language. meaning is what we make it. The first response is way more accurate for geocaching than your reference.

StarBrand missed that the op was asking about "SWAG", not "swag". The link provided has a redirect that says "See also SWAG"See definition number 4. Quote Link to comment

+Steve&GeoCarolyn Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 SWAG refer to? In the geocaching world swag is the stuff left in the cache for people to trade. The idea is that you take something you like and leave something of greater or equal value. Carolyn Quote Link to comment

I maintain that I am still right - see the GeoLex under SWAP as well: http://geolex.locusprime.net/ I've been around long enough to remember at least some of this stuff...... Quote Link to comment

To say the first response is "Wrong" is just... wrong! English is a living language. meaning is what we make it. The first response is way more accurate for geocaching than your reference. Way back when there wasn't such a universal term for swag, and swag was just one of the contenders for "cache trade contents". The leading definition for the word swag was the "swag" they gave away on radio shows. The DJ's said "swag" when talking about giveaways, and we cachers said "that works for us too". In time it became the leading term. Quote Link to comment
