pinky fingers

Outermost hand extremities

Pinky fingers are the smallest fingers on each hand, located on the outer edge opposite the thumb.

The pinky is also called the little finger or fifth finger.

Despite its size, it contributes significantly to grip strength.

A pinky promise or pinky swear is a pledge made by linking pinky fingers, associated with childhood but used playfully by adults.
