but firsted

This is a result of being delayed in starting a chore, errand, task, etc because something else has to be completed first.

Rudy, I thought you were going to the store.
I am, "but first" I have to make the grocery list.

I was going to clean up the shop; however I got "but firsted" because the shop light was burned out and I had to change the bulb.

First!

Something said when an internet addicted asshole on YouTube feels the need to induce their feeling of superiority by entering a comment section just as the YouTube video has been published then types "first". Those sanctimonious narcissists are oblivious to the fact that the chances are that they most likely aren't the first to comment on the video as YouTube doesn't load other comments straight away, thus ending up with around 10 people screaming "first". If you are one of those silly individuals please just stop because you're not special, nor funny.

I vehemently despise those pretentious man-children who claim "first!" in every single YouTube video because nobody gives a flying fuck.
