Well, I S’Wanee

It is a very normal practice to use needless terms in the south. This time around, that’s not the case. For whatever explanation, “I swear” has been turned into “Well, I S’wanee.” According to the Southerners, it has everything to do with the Southern Suwannee River or a little town named Sewanee, Tennessee. It’s also likely that this is another way to say “I s’wan” or “I s’wan ye.” They all come from the northern English dialect and signify, “I shall warrant (you).” In our view, this is quite a fascinating way to swear anything!
