preemptive revenge

To get revenge for something that you know that another is going to do to you.

Also known as: "Doing unto others before they do unto you", preemptive self-defense. While preemptive self-defense indicates one striking another do to a large threat from the other, preemptive revenge indicates striking another if they even think of doing something to you, no matter how large or small the threat is.

preemptive karma

When one's just desserts are dished out even before the meal's begun. Similar to the Western concept of getting beaten to the punch. Although people who experience preemptive karma feel like dolts, they are actually highly evolved beings whose true desire is to do no others harm.

preemptive break up

A tactical move that involves a guy breaking up with a girl who he is not dating. The girl has confused their regular encounters and his enjoyment of them as romantic interest. The male, realizing that if keeps on hanging out with her he will be accused of "leading her on" even though he never had any romantic intentions at all, decides that he must tell her he doesn't have any interest. So without actually dating her, he is forced to break up with her, receiving all of the stress and crap of a relationship without having ever had any of the benefits, just so he won't be villainized for several months.
Jack - "Uhh Sue... it seems to me that you might like me... and well... uhhh... I just wanted you to know that I don't like you".

(extremely awkward moment)

Sue - "Oh"
Jack - "Sorry, I know this must feel like a preemptive break up, but I didn't want you to think I was... leading you on or anything"
