Getting your revenge in first.
Do unto him before he can do unto you, if you like.
A guy looks at you nastily across a rugby scrum; next maul, you tear his ear off, before he does the same, or worse, to you. You have completed pretaliation. Anything he does after that is retaliation, which referees always come down on harder than on the original malefactor.

"Did you see Tonto get his pretaliation in on that mean-looking winger?"

Get the Worldmug. Something between a word and a phrase. In the increasingly action-driven (rather than dictionary-led) lexicon that is modern English (aka World), there is a category of items that are neither a (single) word, nor a (full) phrase.
"I'll go to the bank - but taking my cheques, this time," said David. "That's joined-up thinking."
"'Joined-up-thinking' - that's a wase that Blair doesn't use these days, now he's envoying in the Middle East!" quipped his colleague

Get the wasemug. Food cooked in a micro-wave oven, but sold for profit in, for example, a pub. Particularly applicable where the menu puffs the food - 'scrumptious' 'lip-smacking', etc. Contrasts with 'home-made', which at least implies that the food was cooked from basic ingredients.
