middle management

A person or persons whose sole reason for existing is to ensure maximum productivity from workers while paying them poverty wages.

American Workers: My productivity has risen 150% since Reagan's inauguration in 1981, but wages only went up 10%. I can't afford a house even if I got 10 years of wages on the spot and even the cost of an ambulance ride could make me homeless.

Middle Management: Too bad so sad. All the value from your productivity went into executive bonuses. Did you know? Bonuses are to be paid to upper management first, and then to workers if there's anything left over (hint: there isn't). That's the definition of a bonus as defined by Reagonomics.

middle truth

A statement or affirmation whereby certain related factual content is manipulated and used to support a fallacious position. An example may be a situation in which someone receives a fair use ruling around the rights to intellectual property, and then uses that permission to then produce merchandise based on the IP, whilst informing customers that he has procured the rights to the IP.

Comparison to "half truth" -
At first glance, middle truth may seem a direct replacement for its related term, half truth. Popular usage, however, seems to indicate a preference for middle truth when using the term to defend past actions. The term half truth implies that the statement is half truth and half "something else", perhaps untruth, whereas middle truth seeks to position the argument on a spectrum made up entirely of truth, but of varying degrees. Therefore a middle truth is being positioned as a truth in the first place, but perhaps one of substandard quality, or even malformed in some way, but in no way polluted by actual lies. This positioning also seeks to identify the deliverer of the middle truth as misinformed or even incompetent at worst, as opposed to malicious or carrying any intent to harm.

Comparison to "bullshit" -
A closer term may be "bullshit". In the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, Elwood Blues, being accused by his brother of lying to him states, "I didn't lie to you. I just...bullshitted you." and clearly positions himself as "bullshitting" because he cared.

"But obviously the truth has to lie somewhere in the middle. And that’s what I’m giving you now, the middle truth. We were told what we could do, but, as it more seems is, it is more like a fair use response. So this is what you can do with our IP, and those are the rules that we followed. We took that as the permission, and we continued." -- source: PinballNews

Middle School

A place that your elementary teachers tell you will be SO cool. Then you get there and all it is is a bunch of girls destroying each other's self confidence and a bunch of boys getting in fights over stupid shit. Usually is kids from 6th-8th grade. Most people call it the worst school period. I would have to agree. Between middle and highschool, you can either have the best time of your life, or the worst. It all depends mainly on how you look, which is horrible, but the truth. Everyone believes in stereotypes in middle school. It's mainly a big group of kids judging each other. No one cares if you're mean or a whore as long as you're a pretty person. This is the point when everyone starts to worry about what people think of them. Girls are supposed to wear the right amount of makeup, keep their hair perfect, wear the right clothes, etc. Boys are supposed be tough, have abs, be attractive, etc. It's all just a bunch of bull shit and kids are cruel. It will most likely be much MUCH worse than any other time in your school years.

Middle school was the worst time of my life.

Middle Finger

1)Actually began back in medieval times. French warriors would cut off the middle finger of British archers since this was the finger used to pull the string back on the bow. Archers who replaced them would stick their middle fingers up mocking the French showing them they got their finger and they're gonna launch an arrow through your head.

2)In present day, a gesture meaning fuck you, also an easy way to end a conversation

Do you really need an example for the Middle Finger?...
