To pinky swear (in some regions referred to as the pinky promise) is when two people entwine their pinky fingers-and then kiss the back of their hands most commonly of the same respective hands-to signify that a promise has been made. The kiss is not necessary in all parts of America. Traditionally, the pinky swear is considered binding and tantamount to a handshake in terms of sealing a deal. The pinky swear originally indicated that the person who breaks the promise must cut off their pinky finger.[1] In modern times, pinky swearing is a more informal way of sealing a promise. It is most common among school-age children and close friends. The pinky swear signifies a promise that cannot be broken or counteracted by the crossing of fingers, the "I take it back" or any other trickery.[2] If "no crosses count" is said at anytime during the pinky swear, it applies to any crosses (fingers, toes, etc.) at anytime during the pinky swear.
