To be made obvious; to be given direct attention. Taken from the works of Percy Grainger, "to the fore" meant to bring out a musical phrase and give it precedence over what the other instruments are playing.

"Man, that low-cut top really puts Jenny's cleavage to the fore."

'fore

A warning to fellow golfers that a ball is headed in thier direction and that they should duck. Also yelled before someone starts shooting up a building where there are people not considered to be targets.

"Fore!" said the golfer before the ball hit the guy putting on the green at the seventh got hit.

"Fore!" Cried the cops as the light up a house with hostages inside.

'fore

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Dude, did you listen to fore!?
Yes.

Short for "before".

Eminem's SQUARE DANCE: "I'm twenty-eight, they're gonna take you 'fore they take me".
