Confidence and self-absorption rooted in narcissism are not the same: first, narcissism is self-focused while confidence considers the wellbeing of others.

Sarah was so self-absorbed that she shouted at her daughter for no apparent reason.
1. An adjective that describes practically every human being alive with only a few exceptions. I mean, who thinks about other people more than their needs? If you're living in a 3rd world country, suffering constantly or have less than a week to live, you probably aren't going to bitch, moan and remind everyone else of your suffering as much as some asshatkid with 2 tests on the same day! (BLASHPEMY! 2 TESTS?? And HOMEWORK on top of that?? IN-JUST-ICE!!)
2. What to call people, when at lost for words, who enter their own name at Urbandictionary.com with a lengthy paragraph telling readers why (self-absorbed asshat) loves him/herself.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
