The most sacred promise anyone can give. When broken, you lose your friend forever. The pinkie promise is done by uttering a chant and doing the motions
AJ: you bettar not tell Twi that ah lost her book. Y'all know what happened last time thayt happened.
RD: Pinkie promise. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.
RD crosses a hoof over her heart, opened her wings and gave a flap, and put a hoof to her eye.
AJ: thanks, Dash. Ah really don't know what ah'd do without y'all.
RD: no problem, pal.
*later*
RD listened to Twi talk about her new book she lent to AJ. She bit her lip, and opened her mouth to confess. Suddenly, Pinkie sprung out of a potted plant
Pinkie: you'll lose them. Foreeeeeevveeeerrrrr
She slowly disappeared into the plant.
RD: don't question it...

A made up expression when someone is trying to avoid committing to a "full" promise, so they have an excuse (loop hole) when they don't do what they have "half promised". A glorified way of saying "maybe".
Persons who tend to try to get away with using a "half promise" are:
a) Those who will not promise often, because they take them very seriously, and are a person of their word.
b) Those who are not good at keeping promises.
Note: In final reiteration, do not be fooled, this is not an acceptable form of promise.

Nick Ross: Yes.
Amanda: Promise?
Nick Ross: I half promise.
Amanda: That's not even a real thing! This isn't a 50/50 game!
Nick Ross: I knew that wouldn't work!
