peer agreement (net): +5the new modesty Explanation: As in, for example, "it's all about the new modesty...". But you've got lots of choices here, you can let yourself go fairly wild with fashion speak (where "the new xxx" is always popular). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2013-01-10 14:43:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another example: "Speed read: Cover up for the new modesty This spring, it’s time to cover up. Seriously. A more reserved style is set to become so avant-garde that even the supercool Kate Moss was spotted wearing a modest floor-length, long-sleeved number on her recent trip to Rio." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1360270/Cover-new-...
