'Swagger' Outpaces 'Hater' as Most Death-Worthy Slang Term
swagger: How one presents him or her self to the world. Swagger is shown from how the person handles a situation. It can also be shown in the person's walk. - Urban Dictionary.
Kill it! Kill it! Kill it! As bloggers and lovers of Hip Hop we must all come together as a familial unit and stress how totally uncool it is to use this word to describe one's style. The "S.L.U." track should've been the term's grand finale, sending it into the Played-Out Terminology Graveyard along with "bumpin'," "jiggy" and "like that." But nooooooo, Old Spice had to go and make it a deodorant, and people like Jim Jones are fussing over such inconsequential nuances when they should really be focused on sitting down somewhere, or investing in a razor. Enter Unkut, with a poll that has deemed "swagger" as the Slang Term That Should Be Removed From This Corner of The Internets. It is important that we all commit to the execution of this word as we push Hip Hip and music blogging to the next level. "Remember," they tell us, "if only one douchebag stops using this bullsh*t word for a day, it's been worth it." You've been warned. (P.S. No offense to one of my favorite blogs.) [UNKUT]

Are you f*cking kidding me? Swagger? Are you people TRYING to sound like my grandaddy? Seriously, he used to use this word. Hey, let's start calling each other "gals" and "fellas" too. Wouldn't that be swell?!

Thadd | October 6, 2008 7:26 PM | Permalink...but no one has swagger like us.
khalid | October 6, 2008 5:41 PM | PermalinkWouldn't it be more fun if "Kanye" was the term that should be removed from The Internets?
Mertz | October 6, 2008 5:20 PM | PermalinkI know the term is played out when the crew on ESPN's College Gameday say it about 6 times every Saturday morning. It's the new buzz word to describe "the current crop of athletes" in football and basketball now. "This team has a swagger about them that has them playing at a high level." I hate when mainstream media starts using slang.
Rich S. | October 6, 2008 1:52 PM | PermalinkSee, I actually liked the word...but now it's overplayed as is almost everything else now that hip-hop is in the era of commericalism. And what makes it worse, is that every Tom, Dick, and Cornball claim they have it all over the place...boo.....
