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.

A sacred vow that transcends all fake promising rules (ex: crossing fingers). This is a serious deal that is of the upmost importance.
Guy 1: Hey bro, pinky promise me you won’t tell anyone who I like.
Guy 2: Yeah bro of course.
Guy 2 will be sacrificed to the pinky promise gods if breaks this sacred agreement.

A type of promise that never gets fulfilled because someone is so busy that he/she either forgets about it or doesn't get around to carrying it out.
"You didn't email him? You said that you would take care of it yesterday."
"Sorry. I had three problem sets and a research meeting. I'll take care of it tomorrow."
"That's a Paus promise, ya big fag."
