This hit a little too close to home. But then I reconsidered, and decided that it's just damn funny. Kind of like when you think about what "S.W.A.G." is actually an acronym for, and how people take those numbers as the gospel too.
A couple of years ago, a semi-suit used "SWAG" in a presentation without any apparent humor or irony, and I asked what s/he meant. (I knew "WAG," having made officially sanctioned use of the concept in financial projections for a previous job.)
The fool's answer made it sound like "SWAG" was the result of some MBA-heavy process that was too complex to be explained right then, and that anyway, I was just showing my ignorance by asking.
