Promorexia 

An eating disorder that can occur up to a year, but usually a month before Prom. Mainly occuring in young women, characterized by a self-induced starvation in order to fit into their Prom dresses or feel better about buying a slightly smaller size (which never works). Exercise in the form of "Prom night sex" usually follows Promorexia.

photorexia

I _really_ wanted the daisy cookie in the Starbucks display, but I just took a picture instead of the calories. My photorexia has been flaring up lately.

poororexia

Being so poor that you cannot afford food. When the dreading horror of tuition bills and beer money overwhelm the finances of the college student that they can no longer afford food. It affects 4 out of 5 college students.
1:"Dude, I heard Bethany became anorexic when she moved away for college."
2:"Yeah man, shits crazy. You know she's so poor from paying all of those tuition bills."
1:"you know I bet she actually has poororexia."
2:"yeah i bet..."

pregorexia

The state of being extremely skinny to the point of being nearly anorexic when pregnant.

This trend became popular after startling images of Nicole Kidman and Nicole Richie surfaced, as they both looked as if they gained only the weight of their babies...

But in their desire to remain on the fashion radar, pregorexics risk their health and that of their unborn child.

It's a phenomenon that's being fuelled by the growth in designer pregnancy wear.

This "state of being" has a name that belongs to one of many buzzwords that make a serious deadly illness sound totally trendy
Milla: Did you see those pictures of angelina holding those babies?
Christina: I did! Does she EVER eat?
Milla: probably not, she has been diagnosed with pregorexia
Christina: I bet you're jealous...

A group of promosexuals held a rally on male privilege at the capitol in order to blame all men for feeling unsafe on campus due to the rape culture caused by the President's hate for women.
