promise

An empty commitment made by a corporation for marketing purposes. Unlike a warranty or a guarantee, a promise is unenforceable, giving customers zero recourse value. Because a promise takes power away from consumers, many corporations are switching from guarantees to promises. This allows them to make bolder statements without the risk of being held accountable.

promise necklace

A promise necklace- peice of jewelry often with a similar charm and chain between two people who feel for each other, being romantic, friendship, or even family related. A bond, a promise that that person will always be there for you and visa versa

"I'm buying my ex girlfriend a promise necklace for Christmas, although we've brought each other through hell and back on Earth, she's still my rock and I love her unconditionally. "

Hangover Promise

A sincere, meaningful promise with full intention of carrying out its parameters. Lasts for 24-48 hours or until tempted to break it, like swearing to never drink again after a night of excessive drunkenness.

"Dude, I will never, ever, eat another Six Dollar Burger."

"I understand your disgust, you are a foul person. But that sounds like a Hangover Promise to me."

Advanced Pinky Promise

A more serious version of your everyday, usual pinky promise. With the advanced pinky promise, it is understood that if said promise is broken, the promise breaker will have to remove their pinky by whatever means the betrayed promised chooses, and donate it to the MAF (Missing Appendage Foundation).

Sally Sue: I told Jack you liked him.
Susie Sal: But you Advanced Pinky Promise d!
Sally Sue: I know, but..
Susie Sal: That's it, off with your pinky..

Middle Finger Promise

A ridiculously strong and ever-lasting oath. If broken, results in flipping off the promise-breaking party by the promisee as well as loss of respect and other unspeakable emotional, physiological, and physical consequences. More binding than a pinky promise. Abbreviated as MFP.

I flipped her off after school today because she hooked up with him, even after she Middle Finger Promised me she wouldn't.

Promise

Blank hollow statements of comfort that serve no purpose other than to make someone feel better when you're lying to them.

I promise to love you forever... (Later that day) I'm with someone else, good bye.
