EN: Cross my heart (and hope to die)
The ultimate childhood pinky promise upgrade. When "promise" isn't enough, you bust out the 'cross my heart' to show you're super, super serious. "'Di ko sasabihin sa iba, cross my heart!" It's the verbal equivalent of putting your hand on a Bible, but for playground secrets and chismis.
From the English idiom "cross my heart and hope to die".
A declaration of sincerity, often used by children and colloquially by adults to emphasize a promise. The accompanying gesture of making a cross over one's chest is common.
