This term, frequently used by non-sailors to refer to sailors, is most likely a contraction of the term "swabbie" or "swabby", presumably derived from the notion of sailors "swabbing the deck". "Swabbie/y" is currently in use only among the elderly; "swab" is the more common term among young people.
Due to the superior feeling caused by stabbing someone with a knife in the gaming world, swab or swabbed is used to ridicule an opponent after an especially superior kill. Since a shank is essentially a pointed object, to swab someone basically means to shank them at range.

SWAB
SWAB stands for Slithering Wanker at the Bottom. It is when one decides to plunge from a high area to the ground and they are an idiot for doing so and thus injure themselves and all they have left to do is slither around at the bottom.
