The type of promise that comes from politicians or anybody on the the internet. Its a promise that has about a 50/50 chance of becoming true, usually when the promiser either will only complete their promise if they feel like it later, or when they are secretly hoping that the person/people they are promising will forget about the promise. Maybe Promises most commonly come from YouTubers, Redditors, or people named Casey. The chances of them completing the promise usually increase dramatically once the person/people they promised have the balls to pressure them, after they come to the realization that they are experiencing a Maybe Promise.

Get the Elephant promises mug.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.

relationships could get a bit tricky over the next few days, so promise yourself that no matter what loved ones might say you won’t overreact and make things worse than they need to be. Smile serenely and pretend that nothing bothers you in the slightest.
