How many Muslims do you know?Muslims call such a thing an "Idle Oath" in which they utter it while not meaning to uphold it (lie).

"Idle oath: This is when a person says the words of an oath without intending his statement as an oath. He may say, for example, ‘Yes, by Allah’, or ‘No, by Allah’, without intending his words to be an oath asserting what he is saying. This is called an ‘idle oath’, or to use the Arabic term, laghu. Alternatively, a person may say an oath confirming what he believes to be true, but he later realizes that it is false. Such oaths are taken as they are, the person saying them is not accountable for them, incurs no sin and there is no need to make any atonement for them."
