A defunt brand of butter

Unwilling promises

The people pleaser who doesn't want to disapoint someone so they make a promise but add excuses to get out.
"I promise we'll do that later but I am busy right now." "You don't have to make unwilling promises, just say no."

God Promise

Words used alongside a promise to do something - breaking such a promise would draw the wrath of the whole pantheon of 2000 gods from all religions down on you.
Hey mate, can you take out the garbage on your way out?

I'm very sorry mate, I need to get to the Doctor in 10 minutes, but I'll definitely take it out the next 3 times, God Promise.

Promise

A promise is not simply a word or a meaningless action. A promise is a logical oath to something. And if you break that promise than you lose all trust with a person. A pinky promise is something far greater and a pinky promise should only be made as if you are putting your life on that promise.

Scottish promise

An ancient custom of serving guests an offering of food with a portion removed.

The custom served dual purposes. Symbolically, it was meant to indicate that nothing would be offered which was not equal to the servers own.
Practically, it allowed for a taste test to gauge the quality of the ingredients and preparation.
Our host explained that the pie was missing a piece to show that the house tested the pie to confirm it was good enough for you, which is the Scottish promise.
