Preventive war

A war in which the attacked country poses no direct or imminent threat to the attacker. To be differentiated from preemptive war, in which the attacker is in clear danger of being attacked.

The US is an old hand at staging preventive wars. Through clever use of propaganda to infuse nationalism and support for its wars among the population it is able to attack and invade sovereign countries under the guise of "liberation" or "preemptive attack".

See also War with Iraq.

I'll go and punch a blind person in a wheelchair on the street and call it a preventive attack. He was clearly going for my wallet!

Preventive Parking

When you are going out drinking and you have to drive to the bar or party to get there. You park your car fully aware that you may have to leave it overnight in case you get all blacked out. This is to prevent a ticket or towing the next morning.

Nah, man. It's all good. I don't have to move my car tonight because I engaged in a little preventive parking before I got here. Thanks, though - good lookin out. Now let's black out with our hawks out!

Prehensile

Once used to describe an object that grasps like a tail, this is now used much like the word "Smuf" (as a noun, verb, adjective and so on). It is also commonly used as a substitute word in colloquial phrases.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the prehensile.

I do not com-prehensile this concept.
