moreoftenvow
/ˈmɔːrˈɒfən ˌvaʊ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Öftergelübde (Deutsch) · vernosvoto (Español) · souventvœu (Français)
The pledge made at every parting — "we really must do this more often" — with no mechanism behind it.
The moreoftenvow is sincere at the doorstep and expires by the driveway. Families accumulate decades of them, stacked unfulfilled like takeout menus. The vow's function is not scheduling but sealing: it marks the gathering as desired.
Etym. — more often + vow — a promise that names its own frequency and ignores it.
