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''.

Promiship

Where 2 people link up but arent in a relationship, however, if you and that person want to be in a relationship in a couple of years time, you both make a promise with eachother to be in a relationship in the future. Kinda like a promise ring but you start with a friendship and then promise to go into a relationship with them in the future.
This is mostly for people doing long distance relationship but can also be for normal relationship aswell.

Would you like to do a promiship ?

Promiscuous

A person that lives a life of promiscuity is someone that's considered 'promiscuous' - meaning they are very sexually loose and not at all bothered about remaining loyal to one sexual partner.

E.g A man that can't go to a bar without ending up sunk to the nuts inside someone else by the end of the night, or a woman that can't keep her legs closed and hands sex out on a platter to others. A slut, basically.

Also the name of a 2006 mainstream song by Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland.

"Promiscuous girl, you're teasing me!"

Damn yo, Mike can't stop flirting with chicks behind his wife's back, man is way too promiscuous!
