Maybe it is a word that is
temporarily used time and time again in every song, poem, or Facebook post that
is driving you, the reader, absolutely insane. Sure, it probably is behind
every "#" sign on Twitter or is the finishing word behind a simple phrase
that really has no need for it. However, despite how often the word is
overused, it defines exactly the key factor that is often "just not
cutting it". When we embark on the 'dating, club, Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, breaking our necks checking out the guy who we know isn't right for
us and probably fresh out of prison' scene, Swag is lacking. So let's define
it.
Swag: How one presents him
or her self to the world. Swag is shown from how the person handles a situation
(Urban Dictionary, 2010).
Etiquette. It is a beautiful
thing that seems to have been lost over the years due to losing value in the
importance of good manners. Maybe it is because individuals rebel against what
is conventional. Maybe it is laziness. I am unsure of the reason it has been
lost and I only know of it due to the little I have been personally taught
or classic films and literature that illustrate this foreign word during my
short time on this earth. What I do know is that it is missing and needs to
come back.
Etiquette: Socially acceptable
behavior (Websters, 2009).
I, along with many young men
and women I know are looking for an individual with just that. A presentation
of oneself that reeks of confidence, togetherness, good humor, mischievousness;
yet, illustrates respect, chivalry, and an effort to hold on to the little
tradition of romance this generation has left.
