Definition

The parental pseudo-agreement that exists in the quantum state between 'yes' and 'no,' giving hope while committing to nothing. Translates roughly to 'I need you to stop asking me right now' with a 30% chance of actual approval.

Example Usage

When I asked my mom if I could go to the music festival, she said 'maybe,' which means I should start working on Plan B.
