Get the Space for rent mug.A play on the word "orgasm", it's a feeling of complete and utter happiness, joy, ecstasy, euphoria, delirium, elation, etc. having anything to do with the musical "Rent". Whether it's by: thinking about one of the actors, songs, or scenes; singing/listening to one of the songs; seeing the show. This emotion is usually more powerful than an orgasm to a true Renthead.
I had a huge Rentgasm when Tracie hit that high C in her solo.
Jesse's voice makes me Rentgasm every time he sings/smiles/dances/talks.
"La vie Boheme" is such an awesome song, it makes me Rentgasm every time I listen to it.
I Rentgasm every time I even LOOK at my Rent DVD.

Get the Rent mug.A disciple of the late, great, Jonathan Larson. About half of these Rentheads aren't really Rentheads, but they saw the movie and apparently that's enough. Someone who is completely in love with the show, almost as much as I am. We know the beginning to I'll Cover You isn't "Cold", "Come on", it's "Alone at last..." "...Darling, we're everything", and Take Me or Leave Me belongs in Joanne's loft, not the Greenwich Village Country Club.
