Lick and a Promise

This is originally London slang and quite an old expression; its first recorded use is in 1838 in an English newspaper (The Era) where it was used to describe a uninterested or half-assed attempt at any sort of task or job. Gradually its use changed until, by the time The Era closed in 1939, it was used and still is used to describe a perfunctory wash, less thorough that even HF-AGBA, a BBA or an airplane bath.

Malcolm’s really stinking this morning, I don’t think he even bothered with a lick and a promise.

Abigail’s Promise

A nonsensical principle coined by the YouTuber, “Internet Comment with Erik”, being a parody of commonly referenced philosophical principles in media such as Occam’s razor and Chekhov’s gun.

“Did you hear about that new Lord of the Rings series? Classic Abigail’s promise right there.”

Pinkie Promise

It's a special kind of promise. Nopony breaks a Pinkie Promise. 'Cross My Heart, Hope to Fly, Stick a Cupcake in my Eye!' is the pinkie promise.

Alright man I Pinkie Promise, I Cross My Heart, Hope to Fly, Stick a Cupcake in my Eye, that I will tell you tomorrow.

non-core promise

An election promise that you have gone back on after the election is over. It is important not to define what promises are core and what are non-core before the election itself.

After winning the 1996 Australian Federal election John Howard slashed spending on Education, Health, Social Welfare blaming a budget deficit left by the previous government. When it was pointed out that he had promised not to cut spending on these areas as part of his election platform and that he had lied, he claimed that these were "non-core promises"

Pinkie promise

The most sacred promise anyone can give. When broken, you lose your friend forever. The pinkie promise is done by uttering a chant and doing the motions

AJ: you bettar not tell Twi that ah lost her book. Y'all know what happened last time thayt happened.

RD: Pinkie promise. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

RD crosses a hoof over her heart, opened her wings and gave a flap, and put a hoof to her eye.

AJ: thanks, Dash. Ah really don't know what ah'd do without y'all.

RD: no problem, pal.

*later*

RD listened to Twi talk about her new book she lent to AJ. She bit her lip, and opened her mouth to confess. Suddenly, Pinkie sprung out of a potted plant

Pinkie: you'll lose them. Foreeeeeevveeeerrrrr
She slowly disappeared into the plant.

RD: don't question it...
