Now its used to mean cool... used by people that look like this

generally regarded by most people as Douche bags
Thank you for the clarification: it must be a US thing? I've never heard of it in Australia but then maybe I should check with the grandkids be 100% sure of that.
And I'll continue to call my battered and much loved canvas bedroll a swag.
The f-word is acceptable but the c-word isn't?

Yeah I sort of agree with you, I was just adding a bit of history to the discussion.
Please explain about the word "swag" - in Australia it still means a canvas covered bedroll - hence the "swaggie" in Waltzing Matilda.
Does the word have another meaning elsewhere?
