Promastinating

The act of putting off work and scheduled activity by wanking yourself into a frenzy.
I had a statistical analysis to do for the morning, but spent the night promastinating instead.

procastination

Activity that consists in putting off important activities regadless of its importance due to lazyness or incompetence. The individual that procastinates usually just doesn't feel like getting the activity done and postpones it for a later date, always being able to find a perfect justification for doing so.
dude 1: hey dude, I really have to get this paper done today but what the heck!! I have enough time to do it tomorrow, it's a cakewalk... let's go look for some party!

dude 2: Dude, you are the master of procastination!!

Proactionary

A word used to describe the principle of taking action before problems become insurmountable or opportunities are lost, which standing outside the context of that principle, does not exist in any dictionary except this one.

proactive

Originally a psychological term indicating an empowered, self-reliant individual, this has evolved through misuse into a neo-antonym of 'reactive', and is used as such to emphasise the preferability of one attitude or course of action over another. It connotes alertness, awareness and preparedness, and seeks to dispel any conceivable impression of incompetence.

'Proactive' is interesting in that it is perhaps the classic example of the unnecessary neologism. It serves as an antonym to 'reactive', yet 'reactive' is itself the antonym of 'active'.

Arguably, since 'proactive' is now perhaps more widely used than 'active' for the specific purpose covered by the newer word, 'proactive' must be recognised as a legitimate word. The cult of hatred that has understandably grown up around the word can only help it endure further.
One is 'active' as opposed to being 'passive' or 'reactive'. One is 'proactive' as opposed to 'speaking English'.

Proactively Friendly

Masturbating before a date with someone you find attractive to prevent both awkward erections at inopportune times, and to prolong any sexual activity that may occur.

"You better be proactively friendly" -man 2
"Good idea, I do have a few minutes to get ready" -man 1

Proactiv

This is the shit that Proactiv put me through

2 weeks just to get "the package"

10 fucking minutes just to finish the "3 Steps"

The "3 Steps" are complicated as fuck

I have to apply the fucking treatment TWICE a dah

Dry ass skin

Green Tea Moisturizer doesn´t do shit

1 whole month just to get results

The people who try to sell you Proactiv on the phone try to sell you way too many shit

Proactiv has shit for every single thing(WHY CANT YOU JUST MAKE FUCKING SIMPLE ACNE TREATMENT THAT ALL COMES IN ONE BOTTLE?)

They sent me some "magic pills" called Vitaclear which turned my piss bright yellow

Etc.

Sometimes I get lazy when I´m using Proactiv because of all the shit mentioned above

Was it worth it? Fuck no. Did I get results? Yes, but it took too long to get results. Is it worth buying? Only if you´re desperate to get rid of acne. I think it´s overrated and customers don´t tell Proactiv all the shit it puts them through. But hey, at least my acne is gone(for now)
*J is watching TV*

Commercial Announcer: Clear skin is sexy skin. Buy Proactiv now!

*J gets up to look at the mirror*

J sees his utterly disgusting acne

J: Damn I need to order that shit!

2 weeks later

J: Finally no more asshole acne!

3 days later

J: AHH MY FACE IS FUCKING DRY AND IT BURNS AHHH! I NEED TO WASH THIS SHIT OFF!

J takes a break from using Proactiv for 3 days

3 weeks later

J: Damn look at my skin! All that´s left is acne scars. Apparalenty Proactiv has something for that too...
