July 18, 201014 yr Instead of discussing the video, let us discuss the term in question. Swagger. I originally thought that swagger meant to rock back and forth like a ship on water. I found I was wrong when my trusty dictionary told me that swagger was a type of arrogant walk. Apparently, swagger is not something that can be had or shown, but rather something that is done. The word swagger is currently experiencing buzzword status in the English language. Many use it to refer to a raucous support of some idol, sports team, or in this case a car. This is simply incorrect usage. My advice to everyone would be to avoid usage of the word altogether until it disappears into the unreachable word purgatory of our brains. Was it not God himself who said "Say not what it feels but what it means. My gift of language to you is precious, and so thou should not abuse it" (Craig 20. 12)? In other words this car can be 'cool' or 'neat' but it certainly does not swagger. As a side note, that song was too loud and the lyrics were nonsense. The aspiring music artists of the day should probably not write about parenting as it is of no interest to the young peoples.

To drive a so called 'swagger wagon' is not verbally boasting or bragging it is a show of flashy wealth which is a form of bragging or boasting.
