Call-Forward

A common stand-up comedian technique where a subject is casually mentioned in a story that they will build upon in a later bit. Call-forwards are used to transition from a subject to a seemingly unrelated subject by dropping subtle references so that the subject being switched to does not seem out of place.

The opposite of a Call-Back
"When ever Bill Burr does a Call-Forward statement about the elderly I know that I am about to hear a transition to a joke about old people dying"

"Son, as much as we appreciate your knowledge of urban diction. It's probably the last thing your grandfather wants to hear on his deathbed."

Suck It Forward

Chelsea Handler defined this saying on her Tv show Chelsea Lately on the E! Network As an alternate to Pay it forward.
A final word for my gay fans: Suck it hard, and suck it forward. Suck it forward. You know, like pay it forward. Do a good deed. Like Oprah. But just a little bit different. Suck it forward.

smear it forward

Women know that they should always wipe front to back. But there is always lots of dirty bitches who wipe back to front. In doing so it causes the puss area to smell like a dirty garbage dumpster, Hence the term smear it forward.
Paula must not have been taught to wipe properly by her mother, cause I cought her smearing it forward while she was getting ready to go out. Later that night after a few drinks, I went to suck the snapper and I noticed the stench of rancid ass and sharp cheese all in the bottom of a garbage dumpster. Damn it Paula why do you smear it forward?
