When was "bling" ever cool? :stick_out_tongue: Seriously, thats one of those words that drives me up the wall when people use it. I'm glad you don't hear it anymore.
"Swag" seems to be its replacement, unfortunately. :sigh:

"Swag" loosely means that someone or something is cool or is something that you approve of. For example, the chicken strips I made for lunch the other day had "swag" because they tasted so good.

I think it can mean that too, but the meaning has definitely broadened. It's reached the point where the word can basically mean whatever the user wants it to mean (which probably means that the word has no meaning in the end).

I've never heard it used to refer to people who didn't have some kind of rap inspired fashion style so....
