Pinky swear
Gesture signifying a promise / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To make a pinky promise, or pinky swear, is a traditional gesture most commonly practiced amongst children involving the locking of the pinkies of two people to signify that a promise has been made. The gesture is taken to signify that the person can break the finger of the one who broke the promise.[citation needed] The tradition appears to be a relatively modern invention, possibly as a continuation of older finger traditions.[1][2]
