pinky finger
Hand's tiniest digit
The pinky finger is the smallest finger on the human hand, located on the outer edge opposite the thumb.
It is also called the little finger or, less commonly, the fifth finger.
Despite its size, it contributes significantly to grip strength.
A pinky promise or pinky swear is made by linking pinky fingers with another person, symbolizing a binding commitment, especially among children.
