A person who does something only for sake of appearance, and keeps a piece of evidence to create or imply a false narrative.
Taking credit for actions that were not genuinely performed is a common type of narcissistic behaviour that is both superficial and self-aggrandizing. In the age of social media and selfies, such behaviour has become rampant.
I can't believe how superficticial those tourists were. They wore hiking attire and took photos in front of the mountain, but made no attempt to climb it.
She is so superficticial that she had the nerve to show up only at the end of the project and still posed for a group photo as if she had done as much as the rest of us.
She is such a neglectful mother but takes one photo each day of her child smiling to make it seem like she is a good parent. I hope her child doesn't grow up to be so superficticial.
When someone says something to you, you ask them to repeat it and still don't have a clue about, so rather than asking them to repeat again, you stimulate a variety of different responses such as;
Nodding your Head Smiling and Looking at The person Looking Down
Agreeing
Looking Concerned
This method of reply is often useful when speaking to people with strong accents, or old people.
Dan: Wow thats a nice watch, how much was that?
Ted: What?
Dan: How much was your watch
Ted: Yes *Smiles* (Superficial Responding)
A grin or smirk that has bullshit written all over it.
Usually used by con men, marketers , stock brokers, prostitutes, Steve Jobs. You know, the bullshitters.
Bullshitted: Do you think this its a good idea dodging taxes? I mean, I will have more money but won't I get caught?
Bullshitter: No bro, just chill. The system doesn't keep track of EVERYONE'S taxes, just those that get paid handsomely and you my friend are not in this category if I were you I'd use that to my advantage. How do you think I got so rich man? I'm only looking out for your best interest. *Gives superficial smile*
