In India, especially in Kerala (a state of India), people use the word headweight to mean 'arrogance'. But in real English, (in British English or American English) you will not hear or see such a word. Even in dictionaries you will not see this word. This word was coined by some Keralite by word-for-word translation of the Malayalam word (Malayalam is the native tongue of Kerala) thalakanam. In Malayalam thalakanam means 'arrogance'. Thala means 'head' and kanam means 'weight'.
