pinky swearing
Childish binding oath
Pinky swearing is making a promise by interlocking pinky fingers with another person.
The gesture, common among children, treats the physical link as a binding contract: We pinky swore we'd be best friends forever.
Adults use it playfully or to signal sincere commitment in casual contexts.
