+Smokehouse Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I have seen them called trinkets and things like that but is there an official name for the items in a bin. If not, then there should be an "official" name for them that we can put in the glossary, you know like loot, booty nuggets etc....any suggestions? The KGB Quote Link to comment

King Pellinore Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 contents? You'd have to have the imagination of a dead clam to come up with that one! Seriously, I like bootynuggets a lot but it's a bit long. Swag fits the bill aptly and succinctly, and geoswag isn't all that much longer, and fits the theme rather well also. My english-major vote goes to geoswag. King Pellinore Quote Link to comment

hgmonaro Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 "Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, Who'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me?" well other Aussies can chime in but I don't think Swag is suitable. A swag is a bedroll that you sleep in. A "Swagman", by definition carries his belongings rolled into a swag. These days you can have a 'swag' of stuff, but the swag means several, not the actual stuff. You could have a swag of trinkets, or a swag of GPSr's Inside a tupperware container you find trickets, McHappy meal toys, junk, not a swag. More info on Waltzing Matilda not that you would probably care. So what was wrong with 'trinkets'? Quote Link to comment

I hear swag (also spelled and prnounced as "schwag") very often at mountain bike races. It is the free stuff they give away, or throw out to the crowd. (I got $200 worth of swag at a race this weekend!) I looked "swag" up in the thesaurus and it gave me this: "loot, booty, plunder, haul, contraband, spoils" So when one refers to "Geoswag", he does not mean a sleeping bag hidden in a cache, but trinckets, McHappy meal toys, junk, all aslo know as "swag", or the loot, booty, plunder, and spoils. So put my vote in for "goeswag" The Mountain Bike Guy. Quote Link to comment
