oath-tacking

The act of strategically evading, distorting, or sidestepping a sworn oath—especially by public officials—often through legal gymnastics, political maneuvering, or rhetorical misdirection. Unlike oath-taking, which implies duty and honor, oath-tacking is about pretending to uphold principles while undermining them for personal or ideological gain.

The senator stood under a flag, swore allegiance to the Constitution, then spent the next hour oath-tacking his way through a cover-up.

man oath

An oath between men, usually homoerotic in nature, that is traditionally "bound in cum" (i.e. said deal is sealed through the act of sexual intercourse between said men).

Well, I don't know what to say. Mark's been a buttplug for awhile now but if willing to give me a man oath that he can get us tickets to Peter Gabriel next weekend I'm willing to give him a chance.

KFC Blood Oath

Eating KFC is a delicious extravaganza. A mouth watering joy of essence itself. But the Kernel will take back what it’s due. One may eat of its tastiness now, but the one will suffer from severe fire poops that draw blood shortly after. And this is the KFC Blood Oath.

Hey Josh, you eat that delicious KFC yet?

Sure have man! I enjoyed every moment!

Yeah, I’m sure! You think the KFC Blood Oath will be repaid tonight, or tomorrow morning?

Oh tonight for sure!!

Hypocrite Oath

A doctor who took the Hippocratic oath but ends up putting more people in danger through medical gaslighting, or spreading disease by not using proper personal protective equipment.

I went to my doctor because I had complications from an active COVID infection and my doctor didn’t even wear a mask, I wonder how many of their patients they’re going to infect with this disease. I guess they took the hypocrite oath.
