This term is common among First Person Shooter games.
A player "pre-fires" when they're either aware or suspect an enemy to be around a corner or behind some sort of obstruction and they choose to begin firing their weapon before they have Line Of Sight on the enemy (e.g., before they fully round the corner).
The alternative to this is to obtain LOS on the enemy before firing, but differing reaction times and PING/latency can put the player at odds of winning the exchange.
PlayerX pre-fired around the corner, killing PlayerY before they ever saw him!

The PG version of premature ejaculation.
Bro, I have a bad tendency to pre-fire a lot of girls.

When your dumb azz makes a whole lot of money but still participates in stupid nonsense that makes your employer or sponsor have to suspend you indefinitely without pay until they figure out to do with your brand of ignorance.
Recent Examples: Gilbert Arenas, Charlie Sheen, Tiger Woods
Gilbert Arenas brought guns to the Verizon Center and has been PRE-FIRED by Stern for being so dumb.

A phenomenon unique to the current recession in which a person is first told that they have a new job, but then are told that the job is being eliminated prior to their start date. Basically, you are fired before you can even start the job.
Joan: "It was nice working with you. I'm outta here as of Friday."
Sue: "Wait a minute! I know your current position is being eliminated, but I thought they were going to shift you over to that new spot in Advertising."
Joan: "They just told me the Advertising spot is being eliminated, too. I've been pre-fired."

That period before actually getting ousted from your job. In politics this often involves leaking a false resignation story to the media to lay the groundwork for the real firing a few days later.
I think I got pre-fired today.
Why?
They moved me to a windowless office in the basement.

The act of taking a legitimate workplace abbreviation or acronym and turning it into a phrase that is nonsensical purely for the sake of a good hearted laugh that is victimless.
I think that workplace acronym (pfis) stands for Pre-Fire Illuminati Sheathing. Ahhh Mondays...
