You know when you try to think of a word and you can’t remember a phoneme? Is this a bezel or a bevel? Am I masticating or micturating? Is the free loot at conferences swag or schwag?
I’ve been wondering about the last one for a while, but Matt’s post about the Future of Web Apps Summit reminded me to look it up, so I did.
Turns out, the correct word for the free branded t-shirts, pens, and blinkenlights dispensed at conferences is swag. I believe schwag is slang for a certain kind of marijuana.
