Retrobution

Seeking justice too long after the fact.

I rather believe it's more 'retrobution' than 'retribution' . . .

retroactivism

When a person, often a politician, claims to have been for something progressive their entire career, when in fact, they haven't.

Joe Biden needs to take his retroactivism claim about always supporting women and shove it.

retropathy

A pathological yearning to go back in time.

He had squandered his youth and was now beset by retropathy, needing to do it again and do it better. He would quit his job, find his first car and buy it back, find his old girlfriend and they'd hit the road. He'd wake up one morning and be twenty again. He was sure of it.

retroactive abortion

a legal medical procedure for the taking of ones life regardless of their age.

Joe is such a loser and disliked by so many people that he is the perfect candidate for a retroactive abortion.

retrovate

To return to an earlier state, the opposite of renovate or gentrify.

The hippies spashed brown paint on the walls of their building, removed a door, and broke two windows in an effort to retrovate.

retronaughty

What it was like to be naughty in the not to distant past, when a casual gesture or word was thought of as funny and a little naughty, not like today when it might considered sexist or sexual discrimination.

My lady co-worker giggled over my retronaughty advances but my boss said it was sexist.

Ezekiel: Not sure, Mike. It must be retroactive love.
