Presalent

Presalent: adjective. This word has two distinct, which will be briefly summarised now:

1. Describing something, where presents are the prevalent object. This is especially true of the rooms of people under 18, old-people homes, homeless shelters and the homes of upper-class citizens of Miami Beach at Christmas. A word used very often in National Geographic, an infographic published by National Geographic in June 2004, showed that the word is used as often in National Geographic as the word "truth".
2. Describing something which is prevalent in the present but is subject to change very soon. A common example given to students of Orthography and Ornithology is snow in late March, it's prevalent now, but by tomorrow it's going to probably be slush.
