Swaging with a "long A" or a "short A"?
Swaging with a "long A" or a "short A"?
A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.
Long "a" in my experience and according to Webster:

Long A. SWAYging.

That's like asking how to spell B...,you know, the things that come out of the front of guns. Just do it.

I asked because I hear so many people pronounce it "Swagg" with a short "A". To me, swagg is a lamp from the 1960's.

We always called "SWAG" a simple wild (synonym for derriere) guess.
You say swage like you would with the words:Page, age, sage, mage, cage, rage, stage. Not like the words: wedge, edge, badge, lag, bag, tag, stag, hag, gag, rag.
Swag = loot, booty

“You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.
He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.
