german promise

It's a promise you know you will not be seeking to fulfil, yet which you make not to be called names and rejected by people better than you.

Years from now, there will be a term #Germanpromise (German promise), which means that when someone repeatedly promises to do something but never really does it and everyone anyway already knows that it's not going to happen. @HVKarpen

2022 brought us new expressions #Germanpromise (German promise) #Germanshame
