Street
swangin'
What does swangin' mean?
The signature Houston way of driving a slab — taking it slow, swinging the car lane-to-lane in long lazy arcs so everyone on the block clocks the paint, the wheels and the system. It's performance, not transport. Paul Wall and Slim Thug built whole songs around it.
"Saturday night on MLK, everybody out swangin' and bangin'."
Origin
Houston slab culture; the term refers literally to swinging the steering wheel side to side.
