Ford Prefect

A car made by the British division of the Ford Motor Company, built between 1938-1959 (not including the period of World War 2). It was basically a four door version of the sit up and beg Ford Popular, which like its two-door counterpart, is popular on the hot rod circuit since the 1960's. It was lightweight, rear wheel drive and mechanically simple.

The Second incarnation was the 100E, which bore a resemblance to scaled down 1955 Chevrolet. A more advanced design that used a monocoque construction and a McPherson Strut front suspension. However, it still used the outdated flathead (sidevalve) engine that was in production until the early 1960's. It was replaced by the Ford Anglia 105E in 1959.

Incarnations of the Ford Prefect:

1938-1953 sit up and beg
1953-1959 100E (Which looks like a scaled down 55 Chevy

Trivia: The car gave Douglas Adams the inspiration for the character of the same name in Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy .

prefab

1. (adjective) A building whose components are built off-site (prefabricated), then assembled on-site.

Prefab homes are at the cutting edge of contemporary architecture (especially green architecture).

2. (noun) A person whose opinions, behavior, style, and/or tastes are determined entirely by others. Prefabs often do not know what the fuck they are talking about, as they rarely take the time to think through what they have been told.

3. (adjective) Of or relating to a prefab.

1. "A Honda Prius pulled up into the driveway of the new prefab home on the block."

2. "Bono indoctrinates the prefabs."

3. "The prefab protestors, unable to adequately respond to the harsh criticism, resorted to name-calling and accusations of racism, sexism, and ungodliness."

preemptive revenge

To get revenge for something that you know that another is going to do to you.

Also known as: "Doing unto others before they do unto you", preemptive self-defense. While preemptive self-defense indicates one striking another do to a large threat from the other, preemptive revenge indicates striking another if they even think of doing something to you, no matter how large or small the threat is.

"I've heard that that guy who's always threating to beat you up is on crutches.."
"Really? Time for some preemptive revenge.."

preemptive karma

When one's just desserts are dished out even before the meal's begun. Similar to the Western concept of getting beaten to the punch. Although people who experience preemptive karma feel like dolts, they are actually highly evolved beings whose true desire is to do no others harm.

Grasshopper, the time you tried to kick the cat, but slipped instead - that was preemptive karma.
