preemo

Pre-emo. Music of the late nineties and early 2000s that featured whiny lyrics but still rocked.

Hoobastank's music paved the way for what is now referred to as "Emo." It is definitely a PreEmo band.

Premature Pikeys

A younger breed of pikey. Tragically, they think that they only way they can fit in and be accepted is if they dress like a complete idiot, aka a pikey. They are beginning to grow in population, particularly in the Bromley area.

'God.... ,MAJOR premature pikey alert'

Preemptive Recycling

Stealing stuff ... often, very nice stuff, usually from work.

May include but is not limited to office supplies, computer parts, food and drink.

The justification is that the item(s) would have been thrown out anyway at some point so you're just going with the trend and saving the planet by recycling them a little "early".

Geek 1: "Check out my Blu-Ray rewriter"

Geek 2: "Oh, cool ! Where did you get it ?"

Geek 1: "Er ... it came from work ... I indulged in a bit of preemptive recycling ..."

premature celebration

golf term: The use of any celebratory action (ie. fist pump, raised arm, verbal comment etc.) assuming a putt will go into the hole before the ball actually enters the hole thus causing the ball to miss. Very mysterious phenomenon which plagues golfers.

I had that putt made until Steve went into a premature celebration and caused it to lip out

preemptive mimicry

When you say something you know will cause your friend to make a face, and you make it first to avert an accusation of mimicry.

“I’m not mimicking you if I pout first.”
“It’s preemptive mimicry!”
