To me a "swegr" sounds like it would mean "an outdoor event on a really hot day where you have to dress in formal attire."

Cause you'd sweat a lot.

It probably stands for software engineering, though.

In Glasgow, here in Scotland, a "Swedger" is boiled sweet or candy.

As in "gonnae gee-us wan o'yer swedgers, wee man".
