n. A promise that's expressed by someone who doesn't fully realise the importance of keeping promises they make to someone else. This kind of promise is generally impossible to keep because the promiser has no influence or control over the situation whatsoever. Alternatively, these promises might get broken because the promiser, knowingly or otherwise, lacked the commitment or the know-how/energy/ability to fully see it through.
Derived from American (Hollywood) films and TV shows that contain characters, who make this kind of promise.

An announcer that talks about basketball like it's boxing or something else. Though guys getting knocked out with a basketball would make an interesting sport, they don't have one like that yet, so you're either watching the basketball game everyone else is watching or you're watching a noxing match, because if you're trying to watch both at the same time while announcing one or the other, you're fucking with people's heads that are watching.
The All American announcer was talking about being able to feel that hit from up in his/her booth and how it cleaned out his sinuses, even though it wasn't a football game he was talking about, it was a basketball game.
