"Asked" is not a swear word.
No
You got it right when you asked the question: "swear" (to affirm, especially under oath; or colloquially to curse).
Yes, in court you are typically asked to affirm or swear to tell the truth.
Just like ours.Who ever asked this is a fool,I swear.
Juliet asked Romeo to swear his love for her and to pledge his loyalty.
It sounds as though he is upset with the games you are playing. If you like him just tell him or let him be.
have you ever heard a child say the f word
Insofar as court testimony is concerned, you will be asked/required to "swear" in some form, that you will speak the truth. This is necessary in order to prosecute you for improper tesimony if at some time in the future it is learned that you perjured yourself.
In a legal setting, you are asked to promise to tell the truth. You can either swear an oath or affirm to do so. Both mean you are committing to being honest.
No. The oath is objective, not subjective. The witness is asked to testify to the objective truth. We could make it more subjective (by saying "do you swear to tell what you believe to be the truth" or words to that effect) but not less so.
Traditionally, it was your right hand for cultural reasons. I do not believe that Bibles are used for this purpose any more. I personally appeared as a witness twice (in NY) and both times I was asked to swear to tell the truth. No Bible was presented and I was not asked to raise my hand.
obviously he still likes u but he just cant tell u straight up, so he's trying to get u to say it first.
