I appreciate the name. They might have aimed for honor, but also invoked obscenity and that fits perfectly.

- ZenoArrow 9y agoIs it really an obscenity? Closest I've heard "oath" used as an obscenity is "bloody oath" or words to that affect, which means exactly the same as "damn right". Bloody and damn are both mild swear words, but haven't seen "oath" used as an obscenity in its own right.
- tomc1985 9y agoI have never heard the unmodified word "oath" used to indicate anything less than positive. Only very rarely is it used in any negative sense, and then almost always with some sort of descriptor -- "Bloody oath", as you say Are you from AU by chance? Urban Dictionary seems to indicate 'oath' is slang over there https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oath https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oath
