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."

propoke

(verb) The act of provoking someone with a poke. The most targeted area is the stomach region, and can also be used with the "I'm not touching you" technique of harrasment.
To really get your annoyance on, moisten your finger and perform a propoke right into someone's ear to create the Wet Willy.

I will slap you silly next time you propoke me in the stomach!
