pretique

A "pretique" is the combination of "pre" PLUS "-tique" (from critque). Since a critique means a critical review or commentary, especially one dealing with works of art - a "pretique" describes a critique BEFORE having percieved/recieved the very piece of art. Therefore it is great word/term for wise guys or clever clogs.

- This very movie is bad!
- Have you seen it yet?
- No, I do not have to. It is a PRETIQUE.

pretiquette

When someone queues in the wrong line at a Pret in London, so they end up standing for ages in the wrong queue, take up much needed space, and look like a nob.

Or, used to describe someone who is generally not well versed in the traditions of Pret A Manger in London.

*Person stands in the waiting-to-receive queue when they should be in the waiting to-be-served queue*

Sue: "That person is a mug and lacks pretiquette!"
