Re: modest, organic feeling?

Roxstar's comment
"['Modest, organic feeling'?] Is it a name, or a laxative?"
is actually not an opinion on a name. It's a sarcastic joke, the target of which is not the name itself but the poster's use of language.
You might share Roxstar's opinion of the name and therefore be more able to perceive it as a funny joke, but I think you can also see how if you didn't share her opinion, you might think she was being nasty.
