reEtraction 

In this ever changing modern world, we rely more and more on mobile devices, the internet and social networking services to connect with people and express out points of view.
Sometimes we can write or post things that we come to regret at a later point in time, once all the implications of having shared such material become more clear.

A traditional retraction is a public statement by the author or source of an earlier statement, that withdraws, or cancels the previous statement.
A reEtraction is a retraction of something specifically posted or shared on the internet and accessed mainly by eletronic devices.
Usually done by deleting or removing all traces of the offensive text / material and just hoping that no one noticed and recorded it while it was out there.
John : " Man, that was pretty doucey of me yesterday when I got smashed and then wrote all that crap on my Facebook page..."
Rick : " You posted some blasphemous shit man. A lot of people are pissed..."
John : " It seems as though a serious reEtraction is in order..."

Ex 2 :
John : " Pardon me, I have to make a bee-line for home to reEtract some incrimidating pictures that I should not have posted yesterday..."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
