Making a ‘pinky promise’ may bring you back to the early days of your childhood where you ‘pinky promised’ your parents, teachers, friends, classmates, and siblings. Apparently the ‘pinky promise’ originated in Japan, yubikiri means ‘pinky promise’, this literally translates to ‘finger cut off’.
It is said that in Japan the person responsible for breaking the ‘pinky promise’ had to cut off their pinky finger. Although cutting off your finger isn’t a thing that is enforced with the promise, it is still a promise and nobody wants to break a promise.
‘Pinky promise’ might seem childish, but as all other promises, a ‘pinky promise’ is to be taken seriously because you don’t want to break that trust you have with that person. ‘Pinky promises’ are sometimes referred to as “pinky swears.” A promise and a swear is basically the same thing, you don’t want to break them no matter what they are called.
