Pre-emptive Strike 

A euphemised term of an "infamous" surprise attack like the one at Pearl Harbor is called when the winners are the ones who did the surprise attack and write the history books.
The U.S. did a surprise missile strike at the beginning of the Iraq War known as a "decapitation attack". Shouldn't this be a day that will live in infamy as well?

preemptive strike 

Means an ATTACK, using information gleaned from a journey in a time machine that ascertained that THEY would have attacked US if we hadn't done it to THEM FIRST. A term of comfort, like gay and terrorist--shows the coiner (perpetrator of the Pstrike) in a GOOD light and the victim of the strike in a BAD light. An Americanism, like Neo-con for ISRAELI AGENT IN THE US GOVERNMENT.
Judge: You're charged with walking across the street and smacking this fellow in the teeth--how do you plead?

Defendant: He was looking at me funny, Judge. I suspected he was plotting to walk across to MY side of the street and hit ME. I had to hit him FIRST, to stop him. It was a preemptive strike. Not guilty.

Judge: I see. I find you obviously not guilty--case dismissed.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
