Fauxcasting is the practice (some would say the art) of creating a revenue or sales forecast to meet some predefined number, rather than actually building it up from assumptions on the market or marketing plan. A fauxcast differs from a forecast in that it attempts to create the future rather than predict it.
Well, engineering missed the ship date, so we're going to have to spend all day updating the sales fauxcast to make the goal without new features.

Duder 2: "Oh dude I told her I was taking the summer off from MS."

There's a bit of fauxcest going on in the Dexter series on TV. Dexter's sister Debra has romantic feelings for him (which is actually okay - they're not related by blood)

fauxcasm 

Pronounced FO-casm

When someone says something completely retarded and/or stupid and then tries to pass off the statement as being sarcastic, only making them seem even more stupid. Can also be used to mask ignorance/faggotry.

It can be hard to distinguish from actual sarcasm, a good way to tell is if the statement was even remotely funny to begin with, or just plain insensetive.
A: I think 'twin days' at school are just stupid. I think the administration just wants to promote conformity and have everyone be the same.
B: Well, I always I thought it was just a way to spice up school life for a day. It's better than nothing.
A: Yeah, I was, uh.. I was being sarcastic.
B: That there is some pretty straight-up fauxcasm.

C: You did pretty terrible on that Science test, bro. 45%, are you retarded? I mean seriously. How could you have possible failed when the class average was 90%. Dumb shit.
D: Fuck you, my grandma died last night after a week in the hospital with brain cancer, I didn't have enough time to study. What with visiting her in her last few days and all. She didn't even recognize me! *cries*
C: I was being sarcastic.
D: Fuck you and your fauxcasm.
