Maybe

Just like "I'll think about it", it is a synonym for no. It is used to not disappoint the person the person is talking to, however it can become counterproductive as it can lead to the person living under false hope and become even more disappointed when they eventually get no as an answer. Personally, I'd rather if the person wad honest and just said no because that would be it over and done with.

John Wayne Maybe

(n. - pejorative)

A predatory, middle -aged cab driver often found trolling Chicago's north side neighborhood bars around 4 AM. Explicitly fond of adopting the role of "daddy" for one or multiple "sons." May or may not express a desire to engage in light bondage, optionally involving toys. Individual possesses a questionable and unsettling familiarity with a victim's close friends.

Dude, if you're cabbing home after the bars close, it's safer in groups... you might end up with John Wayne Maybe.

Maybe Promise

The type of promise that comes from politicians or anybody on the the internet. Its a promise that has about a 50/50 chance of becoming true, usually when the promiser either will only complete their promise if they feel like it later, or when they are secretly hoping that the person/people they are promising will forget about the promise. Maybe Promises most commonly come from YouTubers, Redditors, or people named Casey. The chances of them completing the promise usually increase dramatically once the person/people they promised have the balls to pressure them, after they come to the realization that they are experiencing a Maybe Promise.
