Still not a good example, nice try
I was getting at was swag and swagger have set, separate definitions, and so to use two words for one definition, the original meaning of the stolen word gets pushed to secondary meaning, and or becomes forgotten.
Mofo is just an abbreviation.
It doesn't have a meaning on its own.
To sum it up, I'm just squirtin tears because the pirate definition of swag is dropping a ranking due to this newfound popularity in hip-hop. No biggie.
I dig pirates.
Conservative? I suppose. That's about as conservative as I get
I was a writing kid. I wrote and wrote. I made it to AP English in high school and whopped it. I took courses in college, etc., so sadly, no matter how I try to loosen its grip, it still influences my nerd rage about grammar, spelling, and bastardization of words unnecessarily.
All together though, we're off topic. So I reiterate: everything's fine, life goes on.
