Prototrash 

Something that you don't want to throw out yet, but you know you'll throw out eventually - for example, unread mail, not-quite-empty food containers, etm.

Alternative form: protogarbage

Warning: Today's prototrash is next month's paleotrash!
Can I throw out this stack of mail?

Not yet - it's not stuff I want to keep, but until I go through it it's still prototrash.

Protography 

The setting up a shot that requires lighting, framing and positioning of subjects.

A studio shoot/behind the scenes of pictures that are professionally done compared to a picture from a click of a button flash digital camera on location
You can see the protography in these images, lighting has a mood, the background is colourful and the model is the delight to the centerpiece.

The protography from the digital SLR camera is beyond amazing.

Prototop 

Prototop's are few and far between.

It's a name that barely makes sense. Despite this, they try their best almost all the time. Prototop's like to have fun. They are the life of the party and admired by every woman there. They are irresistible, yet aloof.

The name comes from combining "Proto" meaning "trial," and a colloquial shortening of "toupee" to "top," hence "practice hair" as the spelling suggests. The nonsensical nature of its origin explains itself once you get to know a Prototop.

Fun fact: they are 67% more likely than the general population to be obsessed with Batman.

He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Prototop.
