I > suppose having a drink before dinner would be pre-drinking. No, no, no! Pre-drinking is having a drink before you go out drinking! I thought everyone did that! I sometimes pre-pre-eat. This happens when I am very hungry. I put something on the stove to cook, because I want a big delicious meal, but it takes a while, so I think to myself... hmmm... I'll have some Marmite on toast as a kind of pre-eat. But while the toast is in the toaster the hunger pangs get so intense that I have to have a bit of bread and cheese while I'm waiting for the marmite on toast to tide me over until I eat dinner. pre-pre-eating. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
