1. A democracy that is not a real democracy, but the illusion of one.
2. A political system with some aspects of democracy, but not a full-fledged one.
Examples of this are: totalitarian dictatorships that hold show trials and rigged elections, or countries like the United States that have aspects like the Electoral College as safeguards against a true democracy.

Many people feel America is a fauxmocracy because the electoral college has too much power.
Those elections have been rigged for the last 5 years. Talk about a fauxmocracy!
The people themselves can't vote on laws, thats such a fauxmocracy.

Originating from the 2004-2005 baseball season, "Yankee Hangover" refers to the feeling one gets from staying up all night watching a Yankee game. It was first used in September 2005 for the Yankees vs. Red Socks playoff games, which commonly lasted well into the night--most ending at 1:30-2:30 in the morning.
Guy1: "That Yankee vs Redsocks game went into the 12th inning last night, and I watched it until the end. Man, I'm exhausted and can't think straight!"
Guy2: "Sound's like your suffering from a bad case of Yankee Hangover."

The sound a sword makes when it is removed from one's body. This sound occurs due to the fact that when a sword enters a body, a vacuum is created, making it difficult to remove. When it is removed, however, the sound of the air rushing back in makes a "shulck!" sound.

When a girl gets her eyebrows waxed in such a way that the parts closest to the center of the face are round and as thick as natural brows, when the rest of the eyebrow is waxed into a thin line. This makes both eyebrows look like sperm, hence the name "sperm eyebrows."
Did you see Kelly's eyebrow wax? Total sperm eyebrows!
I told the lady who waxed my eyebrows to keep them as natural as possible, and look what she gave me--sperm eyebrows!
Dani got her eyebrows waxed really thin, but for some reason kept the front of them thick, they are such sperm eyebrows.
