borderline non sequitur

1. A statement that only just succeeds in logically following the statement that came before it.

2. A statement that logically follows the statement that came before it, but to an insignificant degree.
Adi: Cha' it makes sense, twas a borderline non sequitur though. You were quite roundabout in the way you were trying to explain your point. I almost thought you were about to continue that abrupt transition to it's endmost unrelated-ness. Where we would begin exploring a path of some non sequitur, but you just barely somehow inbrought all those tangential thoughts together to explain your point. I'm impressed.

pre-sequitur

Like a non-sequitur, a pre-sequitur doesn't follow what immediately preceded it, but instead relates to something that came earlier, but too long ago to be relevant. It is a sudden or jarring break in the chronology, but it does follow... when you remember what it refers to. Often used as a comic device.
A classic pre-sequitur:
during Mary's job interview
Lou Grant: What religion are you?
Mary Richards: Mr. Grant, I don't quite know how to say this, but you're not allowed to ask that when someone's applying for a job. It's against the law.
Lou Grant: Wanna call a cop?
Mary Richards: No.
Lou Grant: Good. Would you think I was violating your civil rights if I asked if you're married?
Mary Richards: Presbyterian.

sexquity

The "account" that a man/woman have with their partner regarding the status or certainty that sex will occur. Desperate times may call for a "sex-bailout" when the sexquity is really in the negative
Tim really earned some sexquity when he made Racheal dinner, but lost ALOT when he shot his load in her eye; think he may need a sex-bailout to salvage his relationship

"Isn't the definition above an example of a non sequitur?"
"Well, waking up in a ditch chained to a goat sure ruins your day."
