A political term, referring to a specific person who has metaphorically removed his/her head from the anal cavity and chosen to think and reason for oneself. Moderates do not use partisan propaganda in their logic or rationale; rather, they choose to examine candidates and issues with a logical and critical eye. Moderates will vote for the candidate who they believe will do the least damage and is lesser of two evils (as we know anyone who willingly chooses to become engaged in politics as a career is inherently evil). Moderates and history teachers/majors are the last bastions of the thinking man in modern-day politics.

Get the moderate mug.One of the political categories that is inbetween both conservative and liberal, agreeing and disagreeing with both sides. Liberals say they are "open minded" when they really aren't, and conservatives know that they are closed minded, but moderates are open to certain ideas and opinions to both sides, depending on the person and how they feel with each issue.
The conservatives are the left wing of the bird and the liberals are the right wing of the bird. However, the moderates are in the middle, which is where the brain is.

Get the moderate tavere cunt severity mug.A person with whom one shared a special relationship that is somewhat more than simply as friend, but not not quite the level of "significant other." May be former or future significant other, or even someone whom will never have that status. Some "best friends" qualify, but not nearly all do. A sexual component to the relationship is quite common, though it is not required.
Note: A sexual component does not automatically raise a friend to moderately significant other status, rather it is the strength of the bond between the two parties.

Get the moderately significant other mug.Someone very open-minded that can accept ideas from both Liberals and Conservatives without ending up in a shithole. While Liberals are more asociated with Democrats and Conservatives are asociated with Republicans, Moderates seem to be asociated with the Libertarian party.
