pinkies
Outermost digits, hands
Pinkies are the smallest fingers, on the outer edge of each hand.
The word is informal and affectionate, often used with children: Hold up your pinkies.
A pinkie promise or pinkie swear is a pledge made by linking pinkies with another person—childish but still invoked playfully among adults.
