Get the pre-emptive dumping mug.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?

Get the Pre-emptive sex pushups mug.The act of exaggerating a story, because you think everyone will assume you are whether you do or not.
Pre-emptive exaggeration would be telling your friends you were in line for 2 hours when it was only 1, because you know if you say 1 they will assume you were exaggerating and it was only half an hour.
