Pronounced sw-OH-vuh

"Swova" is a convienient abbreviation of "swear to Jehovah," Jehovah being God. It can appear as a question or a statement, noun or verb. If someone makes a "swova," they are usually placing their credibility on the line, similar to "swear to God." If someone "swovas" something and lies/is wrong, it is referred to as an invalid swova. A build-up of invalid swovas over a period of time leads to lack of credibility. You can also prove people wrong of their swovas.

It can also be used to ask your friend if they would have sex with a girl you see. (see examples)
