Renthead 

Someone who really likes the musical wordRent/word. Usually found "rushing" (waiting outside for hours) to get $20 front row tickets. Many have seen the show hundreds, even thousands, of times.
"Those Rentheads in the front row can get pretty annoying with all their whooping and hollering between songs."

"I'm a total Renthead! I know every word to RENT!"

renthead 

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.
True Rentheads are one in 525600.

RENThead 

Someone who is obsessed with RENT. They know every word to every song, have seen BOTH the movie and the play, and love it to death. They know every little detail, from the fact that 'Take Me Or Leave Me' was added two rehearsals before show time, to the precise differences between the Movie and Stage show.
Forrest is such a RENThead, He knows all the words, facts, and little everythings about RENT.

RENTheads, gosh, get a life, RENT isn't something to obsess about. Just because YOU know everything about it, doesn't mean we do.

Rent-Head by La Femme Boehme May 28, 2006
a person with a rectangle-shaped head, or the head itself. Also may be used to mean someone with a vacuous mind. A mad scientist would be a good example of a recthead.
On Sunday, December 28, 1986, Jamie and his friend Matt went box-sliding downhill, and lost their pom-pom snowhats, due to their big rectheads. Robert, Matt's little brother, always goes bareheaded, because he, too, has a recthead, and even is a recthead, himself. Mike, who just happened to witness it, was wearing a plain snowhat, and an overcoat, and thought,"What big rectheads Jamie, Matt, and Robert all are! I mean, to wear POM-POM snowhats, and not plain ones? Plain snowhats are the ideal snowhats these days! And to wear JACKETS, and not overcoats? Really! Such BIG rectheads!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
