Great Canadian Promise

A broken promise
A promise that is full of shit
Instead of basic words of fond farewell, Canadians will promise something that is unlikely to happen as they don't know how to simply say goodbye.
"Great" is added to sound great just like the Great Canadian Bagel, great Canadian Super Store and all the other great Canadian stuff that isn't so fucking great after all!
I'll give you a call; we'll go for beers.
Let's do lunch.
We should get together sometime.
I'll talk to my buddy, he'll sort you out.
Yeah, I can fix your car; I'll come over on the weekend
They'll be here in a week to do the work.

Promise Rabbit

When making a promise to someone instead of doing a pinky promise, you engage in a Promise rabbit where both parties make a rabbit ears shape with thier second and third finger put the rabbits together in a scissoring motion then pull away making an explosion noise.

The promise Rabbit is a sacred bond which cannot be broken.
Person 1 - Dude, I promise not to watch adult material on your laptop.

Person 2 - Promise Rabbit Promise

Person 1 - Yes, Promise Rabbit Promise

*does the promise rabbit.

promise cat

Not unlike a promise ring, a promise cat is a ceremonial feline offering to one's significant other, symbolizing commitment to future engagement. A promise cat provides the additional benefit of satiating maternal instinct, temporarily delaying the urge to procreate.
Mike: "How long have you two been together now?"
Bill: "About 5 years."
Mike: "When you going to make her a wife? There must be a ton of pressure in that direction..."
Bill: "Dude, you don't even know. Her younger sister just got married, and her facebook feed is filling up with friends' baby pics. I ended up getting her a promise cat to release some of the pressure."
Mike: "Nicccce. Classic move, brah."
Bill: "Yeah, that oughta hold her off for now."
