What Does STG Mean?
STG is an acronym used to mean “Swear To God”. It is often used by one when they are trying to express a deep belief in something when someone else is in disbelief, or when someone is extremely upset by something.
When Is It Acceptable To Use STG?
Since the STG meaning is often expressed fully when in a verbal conversation, the term STG should only be used in casual conversations via text or on social media. In verbal conversations the phrase “swear to god” will be used rather than STG, so the best times to use this is when texting friends. This should not be used in a formal setting, even if it is via text or social media. Only use this when speaking with those that are close friends.
