Wildcat, you fail

Swagger dates all the way back to Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
Quote:
'PUCK

What hempen homespuns have we swaggering here,
So near the cradle of the fairy queen?
What, a play toward! I'll be an auditor;
An actor too perhaps, if I see cause.

QUINCE

Speak, Pyramus.—Thisby, stand forth.

PYRAMUS

'Thisby, the flowers of odious savours sweet,'

QUINCE

Odours, odours. "

Wikisource

Etymology

Frequentative form of swag (“‘to sway’”); attested 1590, A Midsummer Night's Dream III.i.79:
You just got "schooled" biatch
