I swear by him


Explanation:
Nisam sasvim siguran na šta se misli, ali ovo može biti još jedan način da izrazimo svoje puno poverenje u nekoga, da nemamo nikakve sumnje u nečije kvalitete.

"to swear by
c. To accept as an infallible authority; to have absolute confidence in. colloq." (OECD)

Izrazi kao "I swear by my grandmother's recipes" i "I swear by my SONY MDR-A30 headphones" mogli bi se prevesti "za mene su...zakon". Međutim, da li je u pitanju bezrezervno prihvatanje svega što dotična osoba radi i kaže, ili se ta osoba nametnula kao apsolutni arbitar?
