| 1. | Pre-curser | ||
|
Someone who is watching a baseball game and starts cursing at the hitter thinking the ball is going to be caught deep in center field but it actually keeps going and is in a home run. Watching the Red Sox game Amy started cursing out Youk when she though he was going to fly out but he actually hit a home run. She's such a pre-curser.

| 2. | Al Gore | ||
|
Al Gore NEVER said he "invented" the internet, this was pinned on him by the conservative media after he said he "helped to create the internet". Senator Al Gore was instrumental in getting congress to fund ARPANET, the pre-curser to the internet. He was only doing what all politicians do, taking credit for a pet project that he believed in and worked hard to fund.
It's exactly like saying Bush attacked Iraq, he didn't actually do it, but he was the main government figure that made it happen. In his own words, Al Gore "helped to create the internet", which is true.

| 3. | Tarmac | ||
|
A mixture of crushed rock and tar with was a pre curser to modern Asphalt. Of course you only hear the word now days by nit wit news people who picked up the term after the 1972 TWA hi-jacking where British reporters on the scene referred to the airliner "sitting on the tarmac". In British terms they commonly use tarmac like we in the USA would use the word "Asphalt". As is so common with reporters they like to repeat words and phrases that have an International flavor whether they know the meaning or not. You are driving down an old country road constructed with the old fashioned process of rock and tar called "tarmac"

| 5. | Quick Sniff | ||
|
Verb.) The pre-curser to fucking a vagina whose quality and cleanliness is unknown by yourself and your friends. The quick sniff is the act of fingering the said vagina and, while the vagina's owner is unaware, swiftly moving those fingers past your nose as if you have an itch, to smell if it is safe to insert your penis. If an odor is detected, it is then justified for the fingerer to shout "I have to go, something is burning!" and then leave promptly. Permanently removes that vagina from the "Doable" list. Guy 1: "Last night I was fingering that chick I met at the bar and did the quick sniff... So glad I did because the bitch smelled like raw sewage! I ran out of there like a mother fucker!"
Guy 2: "Thank God you told me that! I wanted to fuck her. Taking her off the list for good!" |

|
In business, the pre-curser to "blowing the whistle" or "whistle blowing". Typically, it is the act of generating awareness to upper management of illegal or unethical activities being committed by senior leadership in a firm or corporation, without disclosure to the media. Ex. "It was Doug's choice in sounding the alarm to the Board of Directors regarding the financial irregularities performed by the CFO".
