Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) essentially refers to a mental illness affecting both genders, but primarily females, whereby an individual has irregular perceptions of their body image. This causes them to develop extreme trepidation at the prospect of weight gain, dieting, starving themself, frequent exercise and calorie counting which subsequentally gives them what is known as emaciation. It requires inordinate amounts of mental and physical concentration and efforts if one wishes to conquer it, although they never really "conquer" it as it is still in them somewhere. Similarly, people with this eating disorder tend to have a very low body mass index (bmi), usually 16 or lower to the point where they may need a feeding tube. If it gets to the point where it gets below fifteen, without serious treatment, the patient will die, at least it is very feasible!

hip nerd

This updated version of the classic nerd comes equipped with an appreciation for music, fine art, and food. While not losing touch with his nerd heritage, the hip nerd is more socially accepted and able to matriculate into mainstream society by combining a love of technology with witty conversation and self-deprecating humor. Often underestimated in high school and college, the hip nerd often rises to the top rungs of society, winning the hearts of otherwise unobtainable women.

Examples of a hip nerd include Peter Gibbons, Chuck Bartowski, Robert Stephens

Nervousited

The sensation of being nervous and excited at the same time;
When you want to jump up and down and yell "YAY ME!" but you also want to curl up in a teeny tiny ball and hide at the same time.

In the beginning of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, Pinkie Pie notices Twilight is nervousited and assures her that everyone has felt that way at one point in time. Fluttershy, in fact, feels that way almost every day

Nerida

A very rare kind of woman: Whip-smart, honest to a fault, fiercely loyal, and quite possibly the best lay you will ever have.

Neridas tend to be from a foreign country, are thin, have brown hair, and a penchant for impossible men. They sometimes pretend to like football if they happen to be dating a Brazilian footballer, but otherwise are not that in to sports.

Neridas make excellent friends and even better lovers.

My girlfriend sucks. I wish I was dating a Nerida.

That girl I met last night at the bar? I can't believe the crazy sex we had. She was a total Nerida.
