Promposal

A word referring to a proposal by either a male/femal to a prospective date for prom. "Promposals" can be as simplistic as passing a note or as elaborate as proposing with a flash mob with 10 friends in nothing but their underwear in front of the whole school.

Simplistic example of a Promposal: 'The Note/Text'

Bryan: "Hannah will you go to prom with me? Check 'yes' or 'no'

Hannah: "Can I have some time to think about this?"

Bryan: "Absolutely, take as much time as you need."

Elaborate example of a Promposal: 'The Post-it Car'

Bryan writes about one hundred different notes on 'Post-its' and places them on Hannah's car ensuring to have the words "Will you go to prom with me?" Somewhere on the vehicle where Hannah will notice it. The other notes are quotes, inside jokes, and any other thing that the proposer feels will help he/she obtain a date to the prom.

the proposal

When, typically a male, gets down on bended knee and composes himself for a moment, all in an effort to ... readjust his posture and improve the ergonomics of jerking off at his computer station.

As technology improves and retina displays are available for purchase, countless hours of self mastery must be accompanied by proper ergonomics.

After many failed relationships, Jake was debating whether he should try the proposal. He took a knee and settled in for what was to be an extended session of left handed trackpadding and right handed tug toning, all while maintaing proper posture and good line of sight.

a modest proposal

A Modest Proposal is when somebody suggests that eating babies might not be such a bad idea. This is taken from the satirical book of the same name written by Jonathan Swift in 1729. He frankly suggested that poor people ought to sell their children as food to the upper class in order to stimulate the economy and bring Ireland out of a sort of depression. Here's an excerpt: "A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragoust."

Jane- "That infant child looks delicious. I think we should eat him."

John- "That sounds like a modest proposal to me."
