An individual with whom you have a interesting relationship: This relationship ranges from having seen the pereson now and then, to being meagerly acquainted (as in, having been introduced at one time, say a year ago) with them. Different from an acquaintance, half-knows are often avoided when seen in real life, as meeting with them can be excruciatingly awkward, particularly if the half-know does not recognize you.
Jim: "Hey, Tom, you see that guy over there?"
Tom: "Yeah, what about him?"
Jim: "I've seen him a hundred times at work, but I've never talked to him. Kinda weird, huh?"
Tom: "Don't let him see you; he's a half-know!"

A made up expression when someone is trying to avoid committing to a "full" promise, so they have an excuse (loop hole) when they don't do what they have "half promised". A glorified way of saying "maybe".
Persons who tend to try to get away with using a "half promise" are:
a) Those who will not promise often, because they take them very seriously, and are a person of their word.
b) Those who are not good at keeping promises.
Note: In final reiteration, do not be fooled, this is not an acceptable form of promise.

Amanda: Will you clean the kitchen later?
Nick Ross: Yes.
Amanda: Promise?
Nick Ross: I half promise.
Amanda: That's not even a real thing! This isn't a 50/50 game!
Nick Ross: I knew that wouldn't work!
Nick Ross: Yes.

On Snapchat, when you send your crush a risky text and they text you back, or when someone you don’t like texts you, you simply press down on that person’s name and swipe it halfway to see their message without it being marked as read.
Person 1: Bro, Monique just texted back, what do I do?
Person 2: Don’t worry bro, just half swipe that shit
Person 2: Don’t worry bro, just half swipe that shit
