(mo-NAY) The last name of the founder of impressionist painting, Claude Monet, whose paintings were beautiful from a distance, but were nothing more than thousands of little dots when you looked closer. When you describe a person as "a Monet," you're saying that the bomb-ass hottie across the room only looks good from a distance, and their fugly-factor increases exponentially as they approach you. This effect is often amplified by poor lighting, and intoxication--circumstances often found in most bars and night clubs. Failure to recognize a Monet can result in a Coyote Ugly moment the following morning when you wake up in bed next to the freak show terror you mistakenly took home the night before.
