    Was someone like "i don't *kitten* believe you! Give me your damn pinky you *kitten* liar!" thus creating the pinky promise?

    Yeah! Maybe they got to cut off your pinky if you broke your promise!

    I was curious. You actually are probably right.

    Another possibility, however, is that it originates from Japanese. Japanese sources frequently suggest that the English phrase "pinky promise" is a translation/adaptation of a similar Japanese concept called 指切り (yubikiri, lit. "finger-cutting") which supposedly has its origins in yakuza loyalty practices (if someone promised to do something and performed a yubikiri, and then broke their promise, their finger would be cut off).

    But who determined that losing a pinky was the appropriate punishment for breaking a promise. Maybe someone was like....you better not touch them! Not one finger, not even your pinky...PROMISE. Then that person booped them with their pinky? PINKY GONE

    I hope it went down like that. Sounds fun! Could be like...cutting your hand off for stealing. Breaking a promise isn't as bad so it's like a punishment fits the crime scenario

    Breaking a promise can be pretty bad....but you wouldn't want to make a boob promise or peniz promise with a stranger......

    Ouch :s

    Then again, that's a promise you for sure are gonna want to keep.....
    I.......just never, ever want the two of you mad at me.....

    The grass is not greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it.
