i think the word swag lost all its appeal, even in an ironic sense, when companies started using it to mean "branded apparel"

no, i don't want to win Free Swag. that phrase makes me feel ill. i want to crumple up into a ball when i hear it

company rep handing me a swag bag like "hey would you mind throwing this away for me?"

@Webster

it's so ambitious to hand a self-respecting person a t-shirt that says "microsoft office" on it, like you've got to be fucking delusional

in reply to @Webster's post:

yea I once somebody with an excel green hat that just said "spreadsheets" and it went pretty hard

I think an important part of swag is how removed the piece of swag is from actual work. ms office shirt in Redmond, wa? lame. ms office shirt in North Carolina thrift store, 20 years later? let's go

i like it when they're the really comfy soft tees that last forever. great sleep shirts. and they gain extra ironic value and start becoming wearable outdoors when the company goes entirely out of business
