Here's the definition of "swag" as a noun,
from
http://www.yourdictionary.com/
I think we're referring to definition #3, below.
Note also #5, which is relevant later in this discussion.
Main Entry: 2swag
Function: noun
Date: 1660
1 : SWAY
2 a : something (as a decoration) hanging in a curve between
two points : FESTOON b : a suspended cluster (as of
evergreen branches)
3 a : goods acquired by unlawful means : LOOT b : SPOILS, PROFITS
4 : a depression in the earth
5 chiefly Australian : a pack of personal belongings
As for "Swag-man", as in the song "Waltzing Matilda":
Main Entry: swag.man
Pronunciation: 'swag-m&n
Function: noun
Date: 1851
chiefly Australian : DRIFTER; especially : one who carries
a swag when traveling
... In our case, one who drifts into a PLUG meeting
carrying a swag to be looted by those in attendance.
Of course attendance at a PLUG meeting is "unlawful means"
since all your stuff are belong to Sony.
