Fauxtempt 

To pretend to genuinely offer help or assistance, when you know you really don't want to. This is done with the hope that whoever you're "trying" to help out will ultimately decline your offer. In your mind, there is no chance it is going to happen. A successfully executed fauxtempt gets you out of work/assistance while making you look good. A poorly delivered fauxtempt just makes you look like a dbag.
"After dinner, John said he'd get up to wash the dishes but was easily convinced that he didn't have to. John's fauxtempt was successful."

On the flip side...

"Yea my buddy offered to help me move but as soon as I said he didn't have to, he jumped at the opportunity to rescind his offer. Nice fauxtempt, dbag."

fauxtestor 

A fake protestor; someone who is probably there because they are being paid.

They are usually violent or attempt to incite violence.

They don't actually care about any particular causes. Virtue signalling is more important to them than offering solutions.
Did you see those fauxtestors at the Trump rally yesterday? Soros paid them to be there. All they did was curse at people, spit on them and then played the victim when someone stood their ground.

To fake-protest as opposed to 'fake-test' as the name suggests.
A fauxtest of this said Fur-con would be the proper way to handle such a debacle.

fauxception 

A fauxception is when someone fronts a fake perception of themselves to their friends/the Internet world to make themselves seem like a different person than they really are.
Jimmy acts like he's really into playing baseball, but it's just a fauxception. He hasn't actually played in years.

Brittany parties every night, and fails her classes, but fauxcepts that she's a diligent student with straight A's.
