wannarexica 

Someone who feels that anorexia or bulimia, even sometimes ednos, is glamorous and would be desirable. They try to make themselves have an eating disorder, by starving and making themselves throw up, and ultimately failing. These wannarexics normally only last a few weeks at most with their behaviors.
It is also used by many anorexics, bulimics and people with ednos because they feel they are not pleasing Ana, Mia and Essie. They feel too fat to have an eating disorder.

A lot of wannarexic boys and girls showed up on myproana after the movie Starving In Suburbia was released onto youtube. There were forums posted everyday that were titled, "New ana! Comment your tips!" and all their users were dealing with butterfly, which is part of the main character's username to her proana site. They were all very young, but JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS YOUNG does not mean THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EATING DISORDER.

Wannarexica is basically when a young girl or boy with low self esteem find proana sites and watch eating disorder awareness movies and songs and want to be thin. It's also when a person who is diagnosed with the eating disorder feels nobody notices because they are 'too fat'.
When someone has literal wannarexica just wants an ed because it seems glamorous and they wanna be thin.

"I've recently decided to let Ana into my life to show me the right way to live: being happy and getting thin! Ana coach, anyone? I need some tips, I'm just a beginner."

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
