Stop Swag
November 9th, 2011 | Uncategorized White House | Posted by Blair Tomlinson
In opening my emails every morning I’m accustomed to a plethora of press releases. Today the release that caught my eye was the announcement of President Obama signing an executive order to cut federal agency travel, printing and IT costs.
However it wasn’t the “news” in the release that has me blogging. It’s the use of the word swag. Sports reporters have been using the word for months now. There is no doubt that you will hear swag used if you tune into ESPN’s SportsCenter. But I didn’t expect the White House to jump on the bandwagon.

Is it just me or does the word swag bother anyone else? And the fact that the White House used it in an official press release.
