fauxnouns
pronounced 'fo-nouns,' like pronouns
Usually, in social media bios, when people you have not come out to follow you and believe you identify as cisgender (or anything else on the gender spectrum). They are your fake pronouns, i.e. faux/fake (pro)nouns.
added bonus: it rhymes with pronouns :)
