what is the word

There have been hordes of male models swarming around my office this week & last week. They're all here getting their photos taken for a menswear book we're doing. I thought male models would be dreadfully cheesy in person but it turns out -- surprise -- they're really, really, really hot.
I mean, they are totally cheesy once they open their mouths. They are still male models, inside & out. Last week I overheard one say to the other, "Dude. Since last summer my chest went from a 38 to a 39 & a half."
I asked my friend Paul if he was ripped. He said, "No. Unless you mean 'ripped' like 'I just ripped into a bag of potato chips,' in which case I am way ripped."
The last several work days have left me feeling woefully overstressed & underappreciated & sometimes even near tears. I have to admit the male models are helping.
