Everyone has a phony family member that always thinks they are on reality TV (which is the worst name for the kind of TV programming that it describes, as even TV shows and movies are closer to reality than reality TV, even if it's unscripted it's full of fake people and there is nothing to make up for or redeem it from that). The kind of family member that always laughs at everything and everyone, thinks of everything and everyone as hilarious, you always see a family member like that on instagram or one of those other sites with another video of them doing something that wasn't even interesting when they were a kid doing it (such as them with a hula hoop, big fuckin deal) but they think it makes them the most colorful and interesting person in the world (something they must have got from their mother telling them the home videos of them as a kid were awesome when nobody else would tell them that if they ever watched them).

Favorite insult of "Catcher in the Rye" protagonist Holden Caulfield. Source of great anger to anyone who subjects themselves to Mr. Caulfield's rambling, circuitous narration.

A noob/scrub that has tryhard tendencies (attempting to be the best, etc.), but has noob behaviors and tactics (dying alot, wearing noob outifts, etc.) and end up failing due to these mix of traits
John Boy: Hey Tim, the dude in all black is trying to snipe me in the tower with a Dragonov.
Tim: Oh shit, is he a legit player?
John Boy: Nah I just killed him earlier, he is a Phony Tryhard.

A phony high is when your friends think you were smoking or are stoned but have actually not smoked at all. Symptoms of a phony high can include but are not limited to: Bloodshot eyes (often due to a lack of sleep or crying), watery eyes (often caused by discomfort of the eye, or again, crying because we all are secretly emo kids), mild hysteria (maybe you're just tired...) and many more symptoms that other stoners have been known to have.

p3: Nahhh, that's a phony high. She doesn't smoke.
