      I just want to get to a world where “that is a fucking promise” is actually a promise.

      This is like the whole “figuratively” vs. “literally” thing turned up to 11. Are you actually, literally promising to do something? If not, then don’t say “I promise” just to make it understood that you feel something passionately.
