Half promise


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.
