When a person behaves as if they are
sick to give the appearance of having the flu. In
reality this person is not
sick but wants others to think they are for some sort of personal gain.
She: Wow, isn't our coworker really
sick today, she sounds
terrible.
He: Oh no, she is
fine.
She: I don't think so did you hear her cough?
He: Yes I did, but it's just the faux flu. She has a big party to attend tonight and is setting up for a sick day tomorrow.
