The expression "swear at you" hi, people!! Does the expression "swear at you" have two meanings? I have heard this expression in a 90's music We All Need Love (Double You). The man promises so much getting children with a woman. But, I also saw that when someone had reclaimed due to the disrespect suffered. It remembers "swear words". Can somebody explain me, please? Thanks!!

Hi , yes it has more than one meaning.

1-curse - bad words

He swore at me.

Don't swear in front of children.

2-promise

I swore to do something for her.

I swear that I will buy you the car.

3-state the truth

I didn't go there , I swear.

It either means a strong promise ( I swear to you I will give look after your children) or it means using ugly, unsociable words (the sailor swears a lot, but never in front of old ladies.)
