HARKing

Harking means looking back to a previous event or conversation and using it to support or explain something that is happening now. It's like saying "remember when we talked about this? Well, that's exactly what's happening now!"

Imagine you and your friend were playing outside and you found a worm. Later on, you and your friend are talking about how worms help the soil. You might say "remember when we found that worm? It was helping the soil by burrowing in it!" That's harking, because you're using the past event of finding the worm to explain the present conversation about how worms help the soil.
