"Swear down..."

Context: "I swear down I'm going to ....(insert threat of choice here)"

It appears to have mercifully been short lived, but what on Earth did "swear down" really mean?

Too many people round here still say swear down.
One I heard (rather too often and too loudly) while trying to enjoy dinner out recently was "you dine me in" From the context I took it to mean "you crack me up" but I could be wrong.

I have never quite understood why people say “Oh my God” as most people think he does not exist

which God? there are many deities depending on where you come from in the world, if you are from western europe then it could be assumed that you mean the God of judeo-christainity, if your from the east then the choice becomes a bit more widespread, it could be Budda, Allah, or a leader of one of the many sects, if you're from the rain forest then your God might be a rather large and friendly tree, failing that, you could be American, where your God could be any deity ranging from Hillary Clinton, through the almighty $ to Tom Cuise.

as such, the expression is meaningless.
