pretique 

A "pretique" is the combination of "pre" PLUS "-tique" (from critque). Since a critique means a critical review or commentary, especially one dealing with works of art - a "pretique" describes a critique BEFORE having percieved/recieved the very piece of art. Therefore it is great word/term for wise guys or clever clogs.
