"Pinky swear?" This question is often asked by grade school children. The promise - whether it be to fulfill a task or to keep a secret - is then sealed with a "pinky promise."

This gesture involves the linking of the pinky fingers together symbolizing that the finger could be broken or cut off if the promise isn't kept.

Pinky promises were first recorded in 1860 and seem to have developed in America. The gesture is also used in other countries, including Italy, Japan, and South Korea.

In the Korean version, the thumbs are often touched to further "seal" the promise. In some parts of Europe, it is called a "piggy promise."
