Foreploy

On a golf course, a shouted warning of a ball in motion (true or not) that has an ulterior motive, such as stealing nearby golf equipment.
"Fore!" yelled golfer Wiley at the players ahead of him on the 18th fairway. But after he hit his ball, he sped off in the other direction, hoping his foreploy would divert attention from the set of golf clubs he had just stolen.

Foreploy

(n) The process of learning enough about the other person to determine if you want to get to know them better and develop the relationship beyond being casual acquaintances. It need not be sexual in nature.

This may include exchanging the initial starting lines, introductions to others by mutual friends, extended chat on multiple subjects, focused chat on specific topics, and exchanging e-mails. It may also include picking up clues and cues regarding the needs, fantasies and desires of the other person garnered from these contacts. Foreploy does not include Foreplay but may lead to that. The line between the two is blurred.
The foreploy continued with both Bill and Shelia aware that this chance encounter on the train could lead to something much more permanent down the road. or

Dwanye decided to start the foreploy with Margaret with "Howdy, I saw you from across the room. You are the most beautiful woman in the room." or

SweeTia was in class next to Bill. She started the foreploy by asking him how he felt about the article they had read for class.

car foreplay

The act whereby the drivers of two cars chase each other down the road in a playful fashion. Usually this is performed by two guys under 19 years old, and nearly always in a Honda or Subaru. Once the chase ends, the candidates are at a loss as to what to do next, and generally talk about 'what's under the hood', or Hillary.
Man: "Look at those two assholes! They're weaving in and out of traffic! Stupid dicks are gonna kill someone!"

Woman: "Honey, they're just a couple of dorks. It's their car foreplay thing."

console foreplay

The tricks you do to a failing console in order to make it play games. Usually the tricks make the problem worse in the long run, resulting in longer periods of foreplay as time passes. Here are some examples:

-Constantly restarting a PS1 or playing the in-game music as an Audio CD 'till the PS1 finally starts the game. Sony used poor quality CD drives for the original Playstation and the PSOne, which failed after some years, resulting in the console not being able to start a game (it either throwed an error, or read the game CD as an audio CD). The trick mentioned above warms up the drive and temporarily solves the problem. Unfortunately, those constant start-stops of the CD drive make it wear out faster.

-Blowing on a NES cartridge so the NES can "see" it. Nintendo made the American version of the NES look like a consumer electronics device, including a VCR-like loading mechanism. Needless to say, it was poorly made and failed over time, and the pins of the cartridge didn't made proper contact with the pins of the console anymore. By blowing into the cartridge, you sprayed a thin layer of humidity on the pins, which helped them made contact (though most people thought it was dust being blown away). Unfortunatelty, the humidity gradually oxidized the pins and made the problem worse.

Not to be confused with go wild with the solder iron, which involves an real attempt at repair instead of silly voodoo tricks like the above, and may actually result in a pernament fix.
Guy 1: While I blow on this NES cartridge, you keep restarting that PS1...
Guy 2: Damn console foreplay. Maybe we should buy a new NES and PS1 from ebay.
Guy 1: Nah... they will probably have the same problems.
