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!

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.

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.
