Pseudo Patriots are people who use patriotism as a tool to silence all criticism by anyone who does not support what majority political party thinks. These type of people tend to hate free speech unless it applies them
This term can not be attributed to any one political group, cause, ect.
Anyone from Conservative to Liberal is capable of being a psuedo patriot.

"Those pro-war supports are nothing but Pseudo Patriots, Paul" told his son. If you can't respect the right to dissent then you are no Patriot.

Much like a friend with benefits except the benefits go beyond the sexual sphere. The boy becomes attached and wants both emotional and sexual support from you without any committment. If someone asks, much like friends with benefits, you are not together, just friends. You know, friends who call each other just to say good night, friends who invite each other for holidays, friends who sleepover once a week, friends who have sex and do all other things sexual yet listen to sappy songs in the dark, etc. etc. Really for all intents and purposes you are a couple, but refuse to admit it and pretend everyone else doesn't know it.
Pseudo-boyfriend, "So you wanna hang out tonight." girl, "Yeah sure." P.B, "Well I am hungry so how about we get dinner, maybe go see a movie later." girl, "is it ok if my roommate comes?" p.b, "I just wanted it to be us tonight, I really need to talk to you about some things that have been bothering me and maybe you could stay over tonight" girl,"ok see ya in a bit." Roommate, "so what you up to tonight?" girl, "Just hanging out with __________." Roommate, " right...."

the act of going to a coffeeshop with an impressive book (Debord, Nietzche, or maybe an advance bio book) and flipping through the pages without comprehension in hopes of starting a conversation with another patron.

1)One who sincerely believes he or she is Christian and even has a level of "righteousness" in their actions but is really motivated by their own selfish interpretation of the unselfish Christian scriptures. The selfishness is deeprooted and they honestly don't see it. WARNING: this type can be dangerous to your health. If you are a regular Christian they will find something to nitpick of your faith and berate you over your 'false belief'. These people are NOT to be confused with honest real Christians who try to lead a good life.
2) One who uses the trappings of a Christian believer to attain something he otherwise couldn't (ie a Christian music leader claiming faith in Christ so he can join the Christian music group and gain a level of respect)
3) a heretic (ie the early Gnostics saw themselves as Christian though they're belifs had no consistency with universally accepted Christian doctrine as outlined in the scriptures and the Nicene Creed (which all Christians Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, American Evangelicals etc accept).

1) an example of the first type (from fiction): the preacher in the 1997 movie THE APOSTLE (aptly written andplayed by Robert Duvall). The Duvall character revealed by his actions if not his doctrinal beliefs that he was a Pseudo-Christian.
2) second type: Jim Jones or other cult leaders or people who use the Church to advance in position not because they want to advance the Christian message. Such leaders say they are christian but their acts and beliefs reveal they are Pseudo-Christian.
3) the third type: the Christian Pagan groups which say you can worship God of the bible and ancient gods (like Zeus or Thor etc) but insist on calling themselves "Christian". Christianity is one of the three great monothestic religions and thus you cannot be a "Christian" if you believe in other gods (ancient or otherwise). These people reveal by their beliefs that they are Psuedo-Christian though their actions might be benign.

A long term "girlfriend" in every way, but excluding the physical aspects and minus the actual deceleration of being in any form of relationship past friend. Often shortened to just pseudo. Derogatory remark.
P1 - Going out with your pseudo-girlfriend tonight?
P2 - Yeah.
P1 - Are you ever going to properly date her?
P2 - It's not that type of relationship.
P1 - Pussy.
P2 - Yeah.
P1 - Are you ever going to properly date her?
P2 - It's not that type of relationship.
P1 - Pussy.

A word used to describe those nationalities that are not Arabs and yet are often called Arabs by people who don't know otherwise, e.g. Iranians, Afghanis. Most commonly used by Arabs to their Pseudo-Arab friends.
An ignorant person: Hey there you crazy Arab.
an Iranian person: I'm not Arab.
an actual Arab: I'm an Arab, he's a Pseudo-Arab.
an Iranian person: I'm not Arab.
an actual Arab: I'm an Arab, he's a Pseudo-Arab.
