What is "MAD SWAGGER" really like?

I first found this intriguing term in quoted Brady's post and then I realized this could be the term of my life. I live by it.
According to my own understanding and demonstration, this term refers to something like, when you walk into a place, not only you know you own the whole place, but all the others in that surrounding immediately know that as well.
I'm wondering if someone here can give me your concise and precious illustrations of "MAD SWAGGER". visual examples are welcome too.

haha, great to see trades and BH responding to my post. I like to get in touch with my old friends here. Too many new kids I don't know flowing on this site now. About my Mad Swagger, there is no doubt. I would call it something manly and determined. something, in my blood. Recently I've grown a new hobbie of evaluating other fellas degree of swagger. It is very interesting, like the ANHM Museum Dance party I went to this week, I've witnessed some great looking guys displaying full swagger and some average joes displaying little to none. That quite intrigued me. Oh, swagger, you are such a thing that is only attainable to a few selected ones.

I'm just a humble clown. I juggle around just for a good laugh of yours.

LifeHedger Recently I've grown a new hobbie of evaluating other fellas

Do these other fellas know you've been evaluating them?

of course not. I go to a lot of parties now so once I get in one, I don't rush to swag the whole venue like a total rookie. Instead, I take it slow, find a nice spot to sit, have a drink in my hand and then do the evaluation using my sharp eyes.

Financier4HireDo you talk the talk and walk the walk ?

I tried talk the talk and I mastered walk the walk. But more importantly, I nailed look the look.
