拉钩为什么要上吊呢

[lā gōu wéi shén me yào shàng diào ní]
'Hooking pinkies, why hanging oneself?' Pinkie promising (or linking) refers to a way for children to make a promise by interlocking each other's little fingers while making an oath. However, 'hanging oneself' in this context, instead of making an earnest commitment or a vow to a promise, seems rather humorous or absurd when misusing its literal translation.
