Origin
What's the origin of s2g?
The expression “swear to god” was present in the English language for centuries and the spread of the internet in the early 2000’s started out the trend of abbreviating everything in text messages, thus the short version of this little idiom was born as well.
The first Urban Dictionary article on s2g was made in 2006, with another one appearing a short 5 days later.
