Lick and a Promise

This is originally London slang and quite an old expression; its first recorded use is in 1838 in an English newspaper (The Era) where it was used to describe a uninterested or half-assed attempt at any sort of task or job. Gradually its use changed until, by the time The Era closed in 1939, it was used and still is used to describe a perfunctory wash, less thorough that even HF-AGBA, a BBA or an airplane bath.

Malcolm’s really stinking this morning, I don’t think he even bothered with a lick and a promise.

Promise Ring

A promise ring is a sign of commitment between two people. Often, it is the first token of a serious relationship that is just developing, but exchanging promise rings can equally be a symbol of a joint commitment which is not related to love. A promise ring can mean many things: I promise to always love you.

''I want to marry you in the future, and I want to show you how serious I am about you. I give you this promise ring as a symbol of that''.

prometheus school of running away from things

A saying that is applied when somethimg is falling on or chasing someone, and instead of turning and running to get out of the path of the object, this person runs straight instead.

The man ran was about to be crushed by the falling building because he obviously went to the prometheus school of running away from things.
