A portmanteau of the names 'Fabray' and 'Granger'.
Referring to the romantic relationship between one Quinn Fabray (blonde ex-ex-cheerleader from the hugely popular television series Glee) and Hermione Granger (the smartest witch of her age from the Harry Potter book/film series). Characters from two separate fictional universes brought together through fan-fiction, gifs, manips etc.
Fabranger;
Hey, do you ship faberry?
Meh - fabranger IS WHERE IT'S AT!
Look, I'm all for Quinn being a pressed lemon, but isn't a Glee/Harry Potter crossover with two established straight characters in a relationship a tad far-fetched?
The purpose of the fauxmance is usually: to willingly provide a celebate rouse for one or both partners true sexual orinetation until one or both are ready to come out.
It is often employed as a marketing ploy for films and major Celebrity couples.
Famous first Hollywood fauxmance
Doris day (Hetro) and Rock hudson ( Gay)
Fake Cheese. Faux meets Fromage. Even though they are two French words, I think most Anglos know their meaning.
Or maybe Fauxmaggio if you prefer French meets Italian (faux meets fromaggio)?
girl: "I really want to get wasted tonight..."
guy: "Hm..."
girl: "I just want to go nuts, and get naked in the pool, and have the TIME OF MY LIFE"
guy: "Drink this..."
girl: "What is it?"
guy: "Fauxpange"
In conclusion, the girl went nuts, got naked, and had the time of her life. Enough Said.
