Blow-forward

The opposite of the blowback, the blow-forward method of operation involves a fixed breech/bolt assembly, with the barrel and chamber being the components that are operated by the force of the expanding gas. Though it produces less recoil than a traditional blowback system, it is unnecessarily complex and not as reliable, and therefore, did not catch on in the world of firearms.

Book It Forward

The act of gifting a book for no reason and expecting nothing in return, only hoping they will gift a book as well. A good way to recycle books you've already read.

My friend Jennifer was having a tough week so I decided to Book It Forward and I bought her a book on Amazon.

Flash Forward

1) When a character in the televison show LOST has an episode about them where the flashes are about their future and what it will entail.

2) To see your future or an audience witnesses your future and you don't know it.

1) Guy 1: I cannot believe Sayid is a hitman, Jack is living with Kate, Kate's raising Aaron, and Hurley is back in the mental hospital!
Guy 2: Yeah it's awesome and Ben totally kicked the asses of those two dudes on the horses in the Sahara desert!
Guy 1: Sweet action!

2) Guy 1: Dude, I think I'm going to die soon since everyone has been getting flash forwards and all I've been getting is flashbacks!

looking forward

"Looking forward" and "going forward" are annoying expressions that mean "in the future". They have been in universal use for years in corporate America and came about for legal reasons. Companies are held liable by the Securities and Exchange Commission for any statements or predictions made about the future. They can be sued by investors if they make a statement about the future and it does not come true. The word "future" was therefore completely erased from the corporate vocabulary and replaced by "looking forward" and "going forward". These annoying terms are used constantly to qualify almost every statement made in order to avoid legal liability. In corporate America today, the word "future" NEVER comes out of the mouth of any corporate officer or anyone who makes official statements to the public (if he or she expects to keep their job).

Looking forward, sales of the company are expected to increase in the first quarter.
