Answer: ISTG stands for I Swear to God.
The word ISTG is often used when someone has made a promise that they will not do something and then they renege and do it anyways (despite the person who asked the question swearing on their life).
The phrase “I stare at goats” can also be expressed as “ISTAG”. When discussing religion, the expression could more accurately be spelled “ISLAM”, but many people omit one or more of the letters of the middle part of the spelling for this word because there may be some confusion with respect to what words like “Saudi” mean.
Answer: ISTG stands for “I Swear to God.” It is a slang used on the internet as an intensifier, often followed by the justification of swearing because the user actually witnessed or experienced what they claimed.
ISTG specifically refers to how someone’s prayers were answered with something they needed. When people feel they have been saved from harm, either physical or emotional, it makes sense that they swear to their god by repeating “I swear to god” over and over again. If you are verbally caught off-guard when praying, you most likely would also say it without even realizing at first–but after saying it once becomes second nature.
