STG in text is an abbreviation that stands for "swear to God."
It's used to express a strong belief in something, intense exasperation, or as a way to emphasize the truthfulness of a statement. Think of it as a less formal, online version of saying "I swear to God" out loud.
Here's a breakdown:
- Swear to God (STG): Indicates a serious or emphatic statement. It can express frustration or disbelief.
Examples:
- "I stg, I saw her leave the party with him." (Expressing a strong belief in what you saw)
- "STG, if one more person asks me that question..." (Expressing intense frustration)
- "I stg I put the keys right here!" (Expressing exasperation and disbelief that the keys are missing)
Essentially, "stg" adds weight and conviction to the message being conveyed. It is important to note that while widely understood, it's still considered informal and should be used appropriately in context. You likely wouldn't use it in a formal email, for example.
