Prepologism 

The act of attempting to preemptively manage or deflect a possible negative response from the other party, usually in such an obvious manner as to ironically be really annoying to the other party anyway.
"Can you take the kids to soccer practice while I clean the bathroom and cook dinner?" (the unnecessary and bitchy while-clause is prepologism for the possible "why can't YOU take the kids to soccer practice?" response)

protologism 

protologism n Greek protos, first, original + Greek logos, word; cf. prototype, neologism - a newly created word which has not yet gained any wide acceptance. It is a prototype or a hypothetical projection of a new lexical unit before it may become current in writing or speech. The word "protologism" proposed here and now is itself an example of protologism.
In contrast to protologisms, neologisms are words that have already been in public usage by authors other than their inventors. As soon as a protologism finds its way into newspapers and websites, journals and books, it becomes a neologism.
