it's like "you've nominated me to be the coolest/hottest person in the school. wow. I'm so owned you guys"
from what i gathered it was like 'how hilarious would it be if this was the person who won this' because i wasnt a very girly person so they were all in it behind my back but at the time i was like neat ppl think im with it!
