Bureaucratic Promise

Quoting someone a large time range for something to occur, even though it will probably happen much sooner.

I always have to tell my customers that they'll get an e-mail within 24-48 hours, even though they get it immediately.

Ah, a good ol' bureaucratic promise. You just know that one person didn't get that e-mail within 30 seconds and they were pissed; so now, you have to tell everyone they'll get it within 24-48 hours.

Pimpy Promise

A pimpy promise is a promise made between a prostitute and their pimp.

Pimp: Do you wanna work for me? *holding a wad of $100 notes*
Prostitute: Yeah I guess *looking at the money*
Pimp: Okay but you have to do something first...
Prostitute: *looking confused* what do you want me to do?
Pimp: *Holds out his little finger* Pimpy promise me that you will stay with me forever
Prostitute: Okay
*them both singing together* Pimpy promise, never brake a promise, if you do you have to suck my weener.

Toothpaste promise

Noun. A representation made, usually in advertising, that sounds impressive, but is effectively meaningless.
Based on the claim that all toothpaste ads make, i.e. 70% more effective (than brushing without toothpaste).

They said I could save hundreds of dollars per year on my car insurance, but that was compared to someone who never shops around, and has had the same policy for 10 years. It's always cheaper to switch to any other insurance company after a couple of years, so it was a total toothpaste promise.

incorrect promise

A promise made using alternative facts.

Obama lied when he said, If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.

Nah, man, he just made an incorrect promise.
