This isn't the normal spelling its "Cherchez" but I didn't want the sole definition under this spelling to stand uncorrected. It literally means seek (or look) for the woman. The phrase is outdated and rare in modern text. It was not normally used to blame all problems on women, but rather to say that when a man has done something odd, or otherwise unaccountable, perhaps even committed a crime when he was not previously a criminal - then "look for the woman" There was a woman involved. Not that she was necessarily to blame, but that the man had acted because of her in some way. The idea was that men are often rash and fools where women are concerned.
Why would Bill have left work and gotten drunk in the middle of the day like that? It's just not like him. "Cherche la femme, my friend"
If you "generally wear those shitty hats side way, and your ass hanging out like a fucking goof cause your pants are half way down your white ass legs" as another person defines swag on this site, that's a whole different swag than the word I mean because a person with the swag I'm defining would never dress like that. This swag is a slang word that refers to stylish confidence. It's been used to mean roughly that since at least 1640. This person "has swagger". A cool customer. They know who they are, what they want, how to dress, what's cool and what's not, in every way, not just clothes. When they walk into a room, you notice, in a good way. You don't have it by thinking you do but because other people can tell you do. A person with swag will probably never think about having it, because being stuck up or centered on yourself is not cool or confident, it's annoying and weak.
That guy always knows what he's about, he's got swag.
