(Pronounced 'foe man)

Looks like a man, but is in fact just a boy. Plural form is 'fauxmen.'

There are many expressions of fauxmenism, including sneaking things that they could manfully take, whining like a child to get their way, and neglecting a real classy woman while salivating after a cheap girl who gives herself to anything and everything. A fauxman may leave his loving, fit and sexy wife wanting while pacifying his sexual appetite with thoughts of sexual encounters with saggy, loose narcissistic females that don't give a care.
Sister: what's up with Katrielle? She seems a bit down.

Mom: she told me she's suffering from fauxmanitis, poor thing.

Sister: (looks quizzical)

Mom: you know... the inflammatory condition that comes from living with a "man" that chronically acts like a little boy. A faux man.

when the front of a building (let's say usually an apartment complex or a house that is now a rental property) is designed to look imposing or grand when viewed head on, but when viewed critically the rest of the building doesn't live up to the first impression.
Sure, the place I thought about renting had a nice fauxcade with decorative window guards, brickwork, flashy cornices, and elaborate drainspouts, but the sides of the place were covered in cheap, cracked vinyl siding.
