pre-release safety-check

Refers to either:
(1) Where you ask a gal if there would be any chance of her getting pregnant before you "let go" inside of her, or
(2) Where --- prior to your letting go of a door and allowing it to close again after you've been holding it open for one or more persons passing through --- you briefly duck your head around said door to make sure there aren't any other people heading for the doorway, thus avoiding your accidentally letting the door slam in the faces of these previously-unobserved folks.
Clueless dude, speaking plaintively to a social-advice counsellor: I always make a point of performing a pre-release safety-check before I let go of a door after holding it open for others; it just seems like a lot of times, the folks who are inside the house or store yell at me to "not let the heat out" or "not let the bugs in". Well, what da HECK am I SPOSTA do --- just blindly let da door slam shut again and risk bruising someone's face?!
Counsellor (gently and seriously): Oh, nooooo --- of course not. I would suggest standing inside the doorway so that you can see both inside and outside at the same time simply by turning your head; that way, you can check for stragglers during the final few seconds while the last person is entering/exiting the room, and thus it will not take any extra time to be safe.

pre-favor

Where you do something for someone without being asked, and then try to throw it back in their face by demanding either payment or an unreasonable favor in return.
Two classic examples of shameless "pre-favoring" are:
(1) Offering to buy a girl lunch and then afterwards pressuring her to have sex with you --- or at least allow you to touch her intimately --- in return.
(2) Voluntarily performing some household chore like sweeping or snow-shovelling, and then telling the homeowner that he is now obligated to either give you cash or buy you a pack of cigarettes as payment for your labors.

pre-feel

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.

prudent pre-shower protective procedures

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.
