Pinky, noun:
1. The smallest finger on the human hand, also referred to as the little finger, typically positioned furthest from the thumb. It is the fifth digit on the hand, located on the outer side when the palm is facing upward. The pinky possesses limited movement compared to the other fingers, but aids in grip and stability.
2. In certain cultures, especially in Western countries, a pinky finger extended outward from the hand as a gesture represents elegance, sophistication, or refined behavior. It is often associated with drinking tea, holding up a delicate item, or making a small, delicate pinch or grip.
3. Informally, the term "pinky" can refer to a person's closest friend or a term used between close friends as a sign of affection. It may connote a close bond or a special relationship beyond a general friendship.
4. Pinky can also describe something small or diminutive in size, analogous to its own physical stature. It can be an adjective used to emphasize smallness or suggest something delicate or dainty.
Examples:
1. "He broke his pinky finger while playing basketball."
2. "She sipped her tea with her pinky extended."
3. "Don't worry, I'll always be there for you, Pinky."
