Welsch promise

Old Welsch custom of giving a gift of food with one serving missing.
The “Promise” of the gesture was that this gift would not be given if it were not at least good enough for the person giving the gift. The missing serving was presumed to be used to confirm the quality of the item and evaluate possible improvements.
The custom is thought to have originated in the mid-seventeenth century.

We did not understand why our Thanksgiving turkey only had one wing until my grandfather explained the custom of the Welsch promise, and it’s purpose of honoring his guests.

DHA promise

DHA promises are even more powerful then the River Styx. If you break this promise, your bones will break. This promise is most likely going to be directed towards a best friend. Diapers, Hangers, and Alabama. So whenever you swear in DHA, you’re promising on Diapers, Hangers, and Alabama. So the next time you promise to your friend about something, to make sure it’s official, promise on DHA

I DHA promise not to donkeyspiddle all over your diapers, hangers, and the state of Alabama.

Thumb Promise

A Thumb Promise is a promise stronger than a pinky promise. It shall never be broken, and if so, then the person who broke it may never be trusted again. Crossing your fingers does not invalidate a thumb promise.

“She thumb promised me she’d get me a drink if i called mom upstairs for her.”
