Apparently he still tears up the hardwood every once in a while, but more importantly, he's got good mojo and he's a chill dude with major swass.

I only wish I was dunkadelic. On the topic of swas----allow me to educate y'all. Yes, I have heard that the majority of people look at that as a conjugation of sweaty and the other word, but I have been using it in an entirely different way for years now. I learned from my brother in law (who was a slightly awkward 18 year old at the time) that swas (rhymes with loss) stood for "sweet" and "awesome". I used to say it just to be weird but now it's part of my vocabulary. Apparently it's part of the vernacular of Shawn Bradley admirers everywhere. Count me in that group as well. That is all.

Maybe I'm just the right age to know this, but Sir Mix Alot and his progeny used the word "swass" alot in their heyday. It had the meaning Magnus remembers--sweet/awesome. Not to say the meaning hasn't changed in 20 years, but that's how I've always used it (in the maybe two times in my life I've used it).

Otherwise, the line "Don't you wish your boyfriend was swass like me" doesn't quite mean the same thing I thought Mix Alot was going for:

I also think the Mix A Lot version makes a heckuva lot more sense in the Shawn Bradley video. Plus, without this, we wouldn't have this:

I just thought it was being confused with the term "SWAG".

Jimmer, in fact, is the only white person ever found to be in possession of swag.

Where I work, SWAG means "Silly Wild Ass Guess" and is used in trying to predict how much a project will cost and how long it will take when there is little valid info to be had.

That video is great.

swaahs = Sweet and awesome

sw @ss = post-effects of a bball game.

Swass makes absolutely no sense as "sweet" and "awesome." Nowhere in either word do an "A" and an "S" sit together. Should be "swasome" or "aweet" or "awesweet."

Does anything rappers say make sense? :)
