layette \ley-ET\, noun:

an outfit of clothing, bedding, etc., for a newborn baby.

Layette entered English in the early 1800s. It comes from the Middle French word laiete meaning "small box." 

SWAG

The most used word in the whole fucking universe. Douche bags use it, your kids use it, your mail man uses it, and your fucking dog uses it. If you got swag, you generally wear those shitty hats side ways, and your ass hanging out like a fucking goof cause your pants are half way down your white ass legs. To break down the word, it means (Secretly We Are Gay). It is also a word that means to represent yourself / the way you represent yourself, baggy clothes, shitty hats, small penis and basically a way to say you're afraid to come out of the closet.

Assface Magee: I got so much swag 
Darrel: You got so much dick in your ass 
Assface Magee: Fuck you! SWAG!
