Modest Proposal

Weird, sickening, distasteful. Can be used as a noun or adjective.
Also: One who eats babies.
From Johnathon Swift's satire, A Modest Proposal, which outlined reasons for why we should eat babies.
That ugly girl's display picture is such a modest proposal.

Look Dude, the principal is trying to dance! That's so modest proposal!

I named my hamster Modest Proposal after she got knocked up by a gerbil and ate half of the offspring.

midwest

A waste of space. No mountains, no beaches. Just farm animals, fields, and boring people/hicks. Nothing at all ever happens there, with the exception of Chicago and one or two other places. Exists only to make it a hassle for people to get between the east coast and the mountains/west coast. Almost as pointless as Canada.
If you're from the midwest, I'm gonna aim about mid-chest.

modest mouse

A band that hipsters are too cool to like anymore because now they are done with high school and attend art school and/or moved to a city, and had to dig deeper into the more sophisticated self zone, aquiring tastes that no one will know about for at least the next 2-3 years, when they will have to update themselves once again (hint: when Xiu Xiu, Blonde Redhead and Q and Not U are completely for indie rock poseurs only... just a matter of time)
Modest Mouse... I never really liked them anyway.

midwest

-a place where they have more guns than people.
-wasted space between New York and Seattle. I'll keep Minneapolis and St. Paul (the famouse Twin Cities), thank you.
-an area so cold nine months out of the year that mexicans seem as though they may be the only ones smart enough not to go there.
-where it is costomary to pause for at least 2 seconds before responding in conversation. (The longer you pause, the more intelligent you must be)
-a famous childhood book called "Where the republican Things Are" is about the midwest. j/k
-a place that, if it didn't exist, the USA would be one huge city called NewYorkMiamiDallasPhoenixLAPortlandSeattle.
-the above can be used without permission.

modest mouse

a band with lyrics full of ironies and paradoxes such as "night on the sun" , "good times are killing me" however they do have an innovative sound and highly clever lyrics with sweet one liners for those 16 year old bloggers. However they are not indie. at least not anymore. they are signed to Sony Bmg music. they are a main stream band however this isn't to say anything bad about their high quality.
modest mouse is a great band man, I'm kind of sad that their next album will carry more of a commercial anxiety. like float on.

Modesty

A heartless bitch that doesn't know a good guy when she sees one. She takes advantage and doesn't appreciate anything she get. A modesty is a liar, and selfish. Her room smelt like pussy and probably still does. Get some fucking TIDE you stanky ass bitch. For 5 cents a day you can help this tan pimple face get some fucking clearisl. She put so much fucken makeup she looks like a drag queen, no offense.
She's an ass, it must be a Modesty
