A text message that is sent to someone under the assumption that you know that they're going to text you. Commonly used with tech-deficient family members who take forever to answer text messages.
I sent a Preemptive Text to my mother to inform her that i was driving home, because I knew she was gonna ask where i was.

Overly-cautious driving after news of impending winter weather has been announced. Most frequently seen in southern United States urban areas.
Dude, would you please drive faster than 15 mph. The snow isn't due for another eight hours. Do not show me preemptive driving!

Stealing stuff ... often, very nice stuff, usually from work.
May include but is not limited to office supplies, computer parts, food and drink.
The justification is that the item(s) would have been thrown out anyway at some point so you're just going with the trend and saving the planet by recycling them a little "early".

Geek 1: "Check out my Blu-Ray rewriter"
Geek 2: "Oh, cool ! Where did you get it ?"
Geek 1: "Er ... it came from work ... I indulged in a bit of preemptive recycling ..."

1) When an ultra “woke” liberal is so full of shit, they call out there own BS before you can.
2) A liberal that can read your thoughts, ESP, and scolds you for something you’re, supposedly, about to say or accuse them of.
3) A liberal who obstructs your ability to refute him/her/they/them/we/it/blaugh/
hugh?/whatever. They reference an attack on their position or themselves, before you do.

1) It: “Gender fluid” is a real term. I know because I heard it on The View. And, don’t mansplain to me that it’s not a real thing! Me: I’m teaching a biology class. Sit your nappy ass down, knock off the preemptive defensiveness, and learn something of real value, besides nonsensical feminazi terms.
2) It: Were you just about to “mansplain” how to fix my computer? Me: Um? You, sorry them, called the I.T. department because your computer wasn’t plugged into the wall. Stop your preemptive defensiveness and learn something the rest of the world already knows.
3) She: The male patriarchy is responsible for these tyrannical men hiring scantly dressed women at this facility. I don’t want to hear any nonsense about contracts, free will, customer requests, or that most of the employees are female! Men like you are the reason we, women, don’t make enough money to be liberated from the shackles of oppression! All men are controlling pigs, and you’re a disgusting, intolerant, misogynist. Me: No need for preemptive defensiveness Ms. Swift. These are the dancers you hired for your new music video. She: Oh. Well send them backstage and get me some coffee, peasant!
