Preemptive Flush

Verb

To flush the toilet before one is done peeing.

Generally done if one is in a hurry.

Requires extreme skill to save the maximum amount of time- flush it too early, amd you will end up needing to flush again. TOo late, and you have wasted your time.

Preemptive Flush Example:
John, who was late for his college final, attempted to preemptively flush the toilet. Unfortunately, he flushed too early, and had to flush the toilet again. THe extra ten seconds this took caused him to be hit by a bus on his way to the test.
