When a automobile begins to accelerate before it is prudent. Most often witnessed at intersections that are controlled by traffic lights when a driver incorrectly assumes that it is his turn to go next.
Driver: Look at that guy raring to go. I'll bet he doesn't know that it's my turn to go next.
<Car in question moves about a foot and then stops abruptly as he realizes his light did not change green>
Passenger: How embarrassing; a classic case of premature acceleration.

Telling several people that you got a job after being informally told you got the job by someone that does not have the complete authority for you to be able to formally say you got the job.
When you speak with a company or firm representative in a formal setting, that person says you have the job, but you have to go through HR first, you tell your colleagues you have the job, you call HR and ask them to expedite the hiring process since you've already been informally offered the job and then wait several weeks to find out you are no longer being considered for the job, you have fallen victim to a spell of Premature Ejobulation.

The embarrassing occurrence of a person who is unable to stop themselves from applauding a performance a bit to early or even much too early during a performance. It may occur during a play, concert, speech, opera or sometimes even a movie. The most humorous situation would be a single loud clap followed by the offenders attempt to turn their red face to search the crowd as eyes fall in their direction to see who dunnit. It is however still received as a great complement to the performers .
I almost died laughing the other night when Sophia started to applaud during that pause in Beethoven's 9th symphony when the tenor ends with that dismal note and we all know the flutes are about to kick in. It was a perfect single smack premature eclapulation.

The act of going for a handshake, and closing your hand prematurely, gripping your partner's hand anywhere from the knuckles to the finger tips, instead of the intended palm of his or her hand.

Being homesick before you actually leave home. May include a stomach ache, curling up in a ball, crying, lack of sex drive, over dramatic music being listened to, as well as other homesick behaviors.
Susie was suffering some major premature homesickness so I decided to just curl up with her for the night rather than push for us to have sex.

Throwing a party or celebrating an event before it is appropriate. Most often done in an effort to fit the schedule of someone other than the party honoree.
Kelly: Why are we having cake today? Isn't Cara's birthday next Friday?
Mark: Yeah, but her boss is on vacation next week, so we're having a premature celebration.

Accidently activating your "star power" before every one else in your band, unless going solo, can accumulate enough to star power with you.
Rocker 1:
*tilts guitar a bit*
"GODAMMIT, sorry guys. Didn't mean for that to happen."
Rest of band:
"C'MON, man. You gotta get your premature ejaculation under control."
