weasel's

Small carnivore's belonging

Weasel's is the possessive form of weasel, a small carnivorous mammal known for its slender body and quick movements.

The possessive marks ownership or association: The weasel's fur turns white in winter.

Figuratively, weasel describes someone evasive or untrustworthy, so a weasel's promise suggests something not to be relied upon.
