HOTarexia 

An affliction comparable to anorexia except instead of sufferers believing that they are fat, Hotarexics believe they are HOT.
Hoterexics are often shocked by mirrors and photo’s when they believed they were looking a lot hotter.
Hotarexics can be of varying degrees of attractiveness from low to moderate to high but nothing compared to their inflated self perception of extreme hotness.
Roisin “Wait! That photo must be wrong, I could have sworn I was looking hotter than that last night. . . in my mind, I am so much better looking”
Brooke “What you’ve got there, is a good ol’ fashioned case of hotarexia”

A great mixture of extremely hot and awkward. But in a great way because people who are hot tend to be conceded and NOT awkward.. But the awkward people are the ones to be great friends.
"OMG he is totally hotward! Maybe hot and awkward can go together!" Robert Pattinson is hotward because he seems not as conceded as some celebrities but is indeed hot.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
