Bar Model Method

A problem-solving visualization heuristic that is the heart of the Singapore math curriculum, whose copyright is being contested by both China and Russia (or even Japan), because they claimed that the “look-see” methodology used to solve challenging word problems in elementary grades originated from them.

In the aftermath of the Singapore’s claim that they and the Canadian songwriter Hugh Harrison own the copyright to the “Count on Me, Singapore” song rather than the Indian composer Joseph Mendoza, China and Russia now want Singapore to compensate them for “plagiarizing” the bar model method for over three decades—unprovenly, it’s their tit-for-tat message to high-GDP Singapore for not approving their home-made, half-baked vaccines.

new zealand's next top model

a reality tv show that "searches for new zealand's next top model" by having them do different photoshoots, all while hardly dressed or naked so the world can drool over the girls which understandably and/or potentially ruins relationships the girls are in.

did you see last night's episode of new zealand's next top model?! oh yeah! Micheala posed naked?? It's a shame. I don't think her bf will stay with her after half the world's seen her naked before he did. They'd been together for so long too. Why can't NZNTM just have the girls do normal modeling instead of this stuff and ruining what virtue the girls have?

plus-size model

A model who is larger than is currently popular, and who may in some cases have health problems related to being overweight, rather than health problems related to being underweight.

The designer used a plus-size model in his fashion show, but her size 20 is just as unhealthy as a size 0 is for most women.

modelcore

A certain type of girls who are high fashion or haute couture models, and go against the normal 'model' stereotype.
Typical modelcore girl:
Unlike anything you've ever seen
Ethnic background usually from eastern europe or asia
usually Bisexual or lesbian
Doesn't fit normal labels
Very eccentric
Mixes different types of fashions together
They usually go by odd ethnic Aliases
Listens to more alternative, hardcore music
Are badasses ^-^
shorter than normal models (5'7 and under)
they say "fuck"... A LOT
they drink and party... A LOT
(I had a hard time defining this because you really can't define a girl that's modelcore.. you just have to see it for yourself)

Mixes designer clothes with goth/punk clothes
Takes a little bit of each group and mixes it to her own taste
Imagine a hardcore girl or a scene girl thats a high fashion model...mix that together and you get modelcore

Italian war medal

A stain from spilled Italian food on one's clothing.

Don't insult him by saying that Italian war medal must be Ragu. The meal was personally made for him by Giada.

Model

An 'occupation' for those too mentally-challenged to seek a real job, thus resort to lightly exposing their bodily features for money. In extremely rare cases is one even marginally intelligent.

Such people are only attractive to the lowest common denominator because whores are bad and true beauty exists internally.

Person with true beauty: I treated multiple aneurisms on the surface of a patient's large intestine during surgery today by performing sedative treatment and vessel suturing. In turn, I saved his life by preventing them from rupturing. How was your day?

Typical Model: LIK, U KNOWW, I WASS TRYIN OUT THE KNEW MAC LIP GLOSS LOL AN TEH COLUR MATSHED MY DRES!!!11111eleven!!!
