Greeting another individual while walking towards each other, but doing so when there is still an abundant amount of walking space to be covered before passing each other. This untimely greet is usually very awkward, but can be saved by a brief conversation concerning issues such as weather, sports, or work.
Josh- I ran into a co-worker today downtown, but it was extremely awkward, because I said hello 20 feet away from him.
Colton- Oh, do you mean you became a victim of Premature Salutation?

When you get very excited for something before it actually happens. Often ruins the actual experience.
I don't want to get excited for the concert until I am actually there. Premature hype may ruin the experience.
He got premature hype for a date he was going to go on, just to be ghosted on the day they were supposed to go out.

When someone in the audience, thinking the song is over -- especially one with a "false ending," applauds before it's done.
I know people sometimes forget they aren't supposed to clap between movements during a classical music concert, but premature clapulation before Led Zeplin's "Thank You" fades back at the end is unforgiveable.

When you go to a concert and think a song is finished. You start to clap and realize the song is not done, just a momentary break. This is a premature clapulation.
At the Neil Young concert, there was a momentary silence in the middle of a song. Everyone started to clap and then the song continued. This was a premature clapulation.
