the biggest lie one direction has ever told. aside from denying knowing anything about rbb, but that's a whole other thing.
directioners: "will there be a one direction reunion?"
one direction (specifically louis): "promise ๐"
one direction (specifically louis): "promise ๐"

It's a promise you know you will not be seeking to fulfil, yet which you make not to be called names and rejected by people better than you.
Years from now, there will be a term #Germanpromise (German promise), which means that when someone repeatedly promises to do something but never really does it and everyone anyway already knows that it's not going to happen. @HVKarpen
2022 brought us new expressions #Germanpromise (German promise) #Germanshame
thank you #Germany (but no thanks) @hy_zrada

When you make promise by inserting any body part into the other party's anus. They then pucker their asshole on said body part to seal the promise.
"Mason promise you wont roofie me tonight"
"I Pucker Promise I won't!"
"Ok!"
*sticks pinky in asshole*
*puckers asshole around pinky*
"There we go!"
"I Pucker Promise I won't!"
"Ok!"
*sticks pinky in asshole*
*puckers asshole around pinky*
"There we go!"

A false promise, especially one which is on conditional terms that are difficult or impossible to check (at least, for the recipient of the promise), so that there's some measure of plausible deniability as to whether the promise was kept.
"They told us that we'd all get our bonuses if performance standards across the whole company rise by 15% this year. What a purple promise!"
"He's made us another purple promise in the election campaign, apparently he's going to 'help protect the environment' -- whatever that means."
The term originated as the name of an internal marketing strategy at FedEx wherein profit sharing bonuses are only given out if performance numbers meet certain goals throughout the whole company -- something which few employees would have the ability to actually check. Within the company, the plan has also been jokingly referred to as "The Purple Carrot (On A Stick)".
