When my daughter was a teenager we had our share of battles over the 'sleazy' look that was all the rage at that time. I was particularly down on the shorts and shirts that proclaimed 'Hottie' in big letters. I told her if you really are, then you don't have to announce it to the world. Those that do are 'wannabes'. That's now our code word for anything or anybody that is a showoff or tries to be something they're not.
