👉 "Afore told" is a rather playful twist on the phrase "before told." It means something that happened or was discussed before it actually got said out loud, like an unspoken joke that's just about to land. Imagine this:
"Sarah told the office that she'd never let her cat, who was practically a living comedy routine, into the kitchen. Afore told, she said, 'You know, I've been practicing my cat joke for weeks!'" This is a bit edgy because it's like saying something was supposed to happen before it did, and yet we know it never actually happened. It's the kind of thing only comedians or people who love to play with words would use, because it's as absurd as a cat trying to impress someone with a silent film. But hey, who needs a punchline when you've got a cat joke?
