Prextension

/ˌprɛkˈstɛn.ʃən/ (prex-STEN-shun)

An edit or modification where something is made longer from the beginning instead of the end, adding earlier material rather than extending with trailing content.

"In the original broadcast, the scene started with them outside the house, but the re-edit made a prextension and showed them from when they were coming out of the door instead."

pretension of hipsters 

Like an ostentation of peacocks, a murder of crows, or a parliament of owls, a pretension of hipsters is a simple and elegant term for a grouping of one of the more annoying self-referential and self-satisfied demographics in the history of demographics. Pretensions of hipsters can be found combing through old record stores in search of vinyl, hitting cool overpriced urban thrift stores, hanging for hours at local coffee shops, and, either performing in, or standing in line to listen to, a band of other hipsters with unfortunate facial hair, playing quasi-folky/blue grass inspired, unidentifiable something or other. There will be a banjo player.

Although pretensions of hipsters set up residence in cool and edgy neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and San Francisco's Mission District, where they can be spotted unabashedly overstating their cultural significance, they will have most likely arrived, trust funds in tow, during the second or third wave of gentrification, well after the hard-core artists have done the difficult work of staking out a claim in a relatively inexpensive if shady neighborhood, with no coffee shops, just delis and bodegas, with burnt coffee to go.

"Look honey, a pretension of hipsters just arrived in our neighborhood."
"Glad I didn't throw out my stove pipe hat."

Brextension 

A portmanteau of Brexit and extension. Refers to a repeated request to delay a deadline, typically at the last possible moment.

I'm so late I had to ask for a Brextension on my paper the day before it was due.

The I.R.S. should have at least asked for a Brextension on providing Trump's tax returns.
