Stuff We All Get – SWAG – the acronym and word for exotic freebies ladled-out at conferences ans award shows. Let’s not yid-ify this basic Amero word.

kenneth, I admit, I did not research the difference prior to posting. But you made be curious.

Looks like it’s a tossup between swag and schwag. Wired Magazine refers to it as Schwag, while dictionary.com is all about the swag :)
