Preclap

When the only person in an audience of many foolishly provides a completely unnecessary clap during the middle of a speech, show, gala, event, etc. This is caused due to the person anticipating an audience applause way too early.

The act of idiocy is followed by (a) a surge of heat rising up the spine of the tard which typically leads to complete embarrassment or (b) the unexpected pause by the speech giver and the awkward rise of a half-assed audience applause.

Opposite of the infamous afterclap

Prelapse

The period of time before one relapses into an old addiction during which one knows and fully intends on what one is about to do. May be accompanied by feelings of premorse, second-thoughts, self-hatred, and excitement.
"Hey buddy, I thought you quit?" Asks Joe.
"I'm prelapsing," says Greg, holding an unlit cigarette between his lips. "Don't make this any harder for me than it already is."
"You're prelapsing?"
"I haven't relapsed until the cigarette is lit, my dear friend. Presently, and for the next few seconds, I'm in a phase of addiction we refer to as the 'prelapse'.
"Semantics," says Joe.

Precap

Annoying pre-commercial preview of what's to come after the commercial break on the program you are already in the midst of watching.
Husband: "Please tivo forward, this is just the precap and we're just going to watch it all again immediately after the commercial break! Do they think we have no short term memory?"

Wife: "No, I want to know what happens!"
