Gentlemen's agreement : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gentlemen's agreement
A gentlemen's agreement or gentleman's agreement is an informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It is typically oral, though it may be written, or simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually beneficial etiquette. The essence of a gentlemen's agreement is that it relies upon the honor of the parties for its fulfillment, rather than being in any way enforceable. It is, therefore, distinct from a legal agreement or contract, which can be enforced if necessary. ==History== The phrase appears in British Parliamentary records of 1821, and in Massachusetts public records of 1835.〔 〕 The Oxford English Dictionary cites P. G. Wodehouse's 1929 story collection ''Mr Mulliner Speaking'' as the first appearance of the term.〔"gentleman, n.". OED Online. December 2013. Oxford University Press. 11 February 2014〕
