is modesty all about sugar coating words or is it the other way around. how do you define sugar coating

@thinkbigaboutlife and i always thought its about holding back one's own opinions and probably sounding like agreeing to the opposition just not to offend them

@quinnVneck hmm... maybe it's a combination of both our opinions?

hmm, I've just checked, and I am right. >>> mod·es·ty
