Implied Prerequisite

A desired quality in prospective mates that is not explicitly stated by the person listing said desired qualities. (Typically these lists are created for one's dating website portfolio or social networking profile.) The usual implied prerequisite is physical attractiveness, and it's use (that is, omission of the desired quality) may be seen either as tactful or hypocritical, depending on which side of the situation you are on.

"She said she wanted someone that's funny, nice, and smart...and that's me. Why doesn't she like me?"

"Dude, you're missing the implied prerequisite."

Prerequisite thoughts

You didn't actually do something I didn't actually do because you weren't actually capable of generating the requisite thought upon which your action was predicated. You are a small part of the outsourcing of my endeavor.

Hym Iam "What does a physicist do? What did Oppenheimer do? Einstein? They generated the prerequisite thoughts and the wrote our a theoretical proof. Some of his theories weren't proven until after his death. If I took one of Einstein's theories and then did something with it and turned around to everyone instead and said 'Actually it was me. I actually did a Einstein.' Anyone who wouldn't look you directly in the face and call you what you actually are, which is, a fucking retard is also a fucking retard."
