The ability to feel what or how something would, might, could, or will feel like before one comes in contact with a thing—keeping in mind that because individuals often get what they expect, what they perceive could be biased or distorted.
Yesterday, he put his hand out to shake mine, forefeeling a sweaty hand of a sick man I didn't shake his hand. Who knows where someone's hands have been and what they were doing before that individual sticks it out for you to shake. Though sometimes it is great to shake someone's hand, in general, handshaking is a drain—a waste of time, energy, and emotion. It can also be a type of invasion of space and privacy. The ability to feel how something may feel like is also called pre-feel, or fore-feel. In the preceding sentence, I spelled the latter without a hyphen.

Get the pre-feel mug.Preliminary actions that you should always perform prior to partaking of a sudsy scrub--a-dub, to avoid any "unintentional ice-bucket challenge" surprises that often occur while you're waiting for warmed aych-two-oh to flow from the water-heater through your pipes to the shower-head.
These two prudent pre-shower protective procedures are very important to avoid potential bathtub-hypothermia, but are very simple and easy to carry out:
(1) Ensure that the tub/shower selector-knob is moved to :"tub" so that water will only flow out from the tub's faucet-spout, not the shower-head. Then turn on the "hot" valve full-blast and wait till the faucet's chilly out-flow starts to turn warm before turning off the valve and moving the selector-knob over to "shower".
2. Step into the tub and properly close/arrange the curtain, then turn on the "hot" tap again and immediately hold your cupped hands up towards the shower-head so that its "initial" blast of water will hit your palms and spray sideways, rather than shockingly deluging your entire shivering "birthday suit" with the unheated "residual" water that's still inside the shower-head's feeder-pipe. Once the shower-head's spray warms, adjust the hot/cold valves for the desired water-temperature.

You’re so wrong that you’re wrong before you open your mouth or have an opinion. It’s kind of like being married.

You'll want to always give "the great outdoors" a pre-screening before just mindlessly heading out the door, so that you don't get eaten alive once you're out there.
