form: measured the drapes
Etymology: After the election of a new President of the United States, the decor of the White House is changed to reflect the taste of the new administration. Historically the task has been left to the First Lady, the wife of the President. During the 1940 campaign for President, Senator Robert Taft of Ohio sought the Republican Party nomination. His wife, Martha Taft, gave an interview to the Evening Independent of St. Petersburg, Florida, in which she expressed certainty of his victory:
*
1940 February 19, Evening Independent, page 11:
Martha Taft is sure that "Bob is going to get it." She is ready to answer questions in regular stump style, though she refuses to say whether she will change the drawing-room drapes in the White House.
Since Taft won neither the general election nor his party's nomination, the idea of "measuring the drapes" for installation in the White House became a metaphor for premature preparation for victory, or over-confidence.

extravital
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Etymology: From extra- + vital.
Senses: examples: text: The biochemist hopes to make protoplasm in a beaker, but in transforming his homogeneous jelly into a ‘sprig of moss’ he will need to utilize agencies not only unexplained, but not even analogous to the postulates or properties now ascribed to unorganized matter. These agencies or properties of life are doubtless as ‘natural’ as those treated in physics and chemistry, but they are different. To call them ‘creative’ or ‘directive’ is, perhaps, open to objection, but they are certainly conservative, coordinative and constructive in a manner and degree for which we have no extravital analogy. The directive idea, however, is by no means extinct among biologists.
ref: 1904, Science, Volume 20, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, page 88:
text: The sole limitation appears to be the restriction of the chromatic granules ordinarily to the nucleus, while, on the other hand, the linin network of the nucleus appears to have the same granular structure as the cytoplasmic reticulum, and the nuclear membrane appears to originate in a condensation or felting of the same substance. Can we then associate these granules with the ultimate units of life? Yes and No. Yes, in the sense that such a chromatin granule associated with short filaments radiating from its core, supported and extended by a unit mass of nucleoplasm,! affords us a theoretic unit capable of growth and division in its particular environment—incapable, however, of an extravital existence. No, in the double sense that on the one hand we can hardly suppose that the ultimate units of living matter happen to coincide with the revelations of the most powerful microscope of the twentieth century; and that on the other hand if we insist on independent existence in a purely physical environment such a suggested unit fails to respond to the criterion.
ref: 1912, James Young Simpson, The Spiritual Interpretation of Nature, Hodder and Stoughton, page 73:
text: The peculiar substance resembling fibrin which we have described in the glomerular spaces of animals poisoned during life was also found in the extravital experiments.
ref: 1931, Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry (American Medical Association), Annual report (reprinted papers) of the investigations carried out under the supervision of the Therapeutic Research Committee, volume 20, page 799:
text: The extravital existence of the bacilli in the excavated lung of the patient appears to parallel similar laboratory cultivation in that some artificially cultivated bacilli tend to become less virulent, or in special cases become avirulent. This patient, however, became acutely ill with the infection caused by the avirulent tubercle bacilli and died apparently not from tuberculosis but from tuberculous allergic bacillary intoxication caused by the large amounts of avirulent tubercle bacilli harbored in the lungs.
