The period of time before one relapses into an old addiction during which one knows and fully intends on what one is about to do. May be accompanied by feelings of premorse, second-thoughts, self-hatred, and excitement.
"Hey buddy, I thought you quit?" Asks Joe.
"I'm prelapsing," says Greg, holding an unlit cigarette between his lips. "Don't make this any harder for me than it already is."
"You're prelapsing?"
"I haven't relapsed until the cigarette is lit, my dear friend. Presently, and for the next few seconds, I'm in a phase of addiction we refer to as the 'prelapse'.
"Semantics," says Joe.

Get the PreElevacuation mug.When you bid someone a premature farewell, creating an awkward moment where the conversation has been ended, but the two people are still together. When the actual moment to physically part ways is at hand, a weak/awkward second goodbye is sometimes given. Usually happens with someone that you kinda know, but not enough to start up a new conversation.
Example:
(Tom sees Mel at movie theater)
Tom: Hey Mel great movie, huh?
Mel: Yeah it was good
Tom: I know. Well... see you at work.
Mel: Bye.
*both begin to walk silently in the same direction, right next to each other. (because they unknowingly parked in the same area)*
Mel: ...bye?...
Tom: *pretends not to hear, jumps into car, leaves*
Mel(alone): that was an awkward Prema-bye!
Example 2:
Steve: I said goodbye to Meagan at the bus stop today.
Bill: Yeah? cool!
Steve: Yeah except I said goodbye a minute too early and we were both waiting for the same bus.
Bill: Ouch! wicked prema-bye!
Steve: i know...
