A promise you would like to make but due to a lack of experience or tools cannot, so you leave it as a Promise in Progress

It's a Promise in Progress

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.

Promise Ring

A promise ring is a sign of commitment between two people. Often, it is the first token of a serious relationship that is just developing, but exchanging promise rings can equally be a symbol of a joint commitment which is not related to love. A promise ring can mean many things: I promise to always love you.

''I want to marry you in the future, and I want to show you how serious I am about you. I give you this promise ring as a symbol of that''.

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"
