Poser

Someone who is not who they say they are.
She would pose as a gangster, a badass tough little son of a bitch from the streets of Chicago, or a tough/scary little 4'11 broad from New York, but in reality the girl was nothing like the characters she was posing as (though she saw them in herself), she was a poser from outside Harrisburg who wanted to be these other folks, since her life was more painful than anybody else's to her.

Poser

One who attempts to make friends or become closer friends with a group of people by feigning interest in a particular area of culture (music, clothing, social activities).

Generally a poser is someone who lacked friends for not fitting in with any real group, they decided to become more like everyone to make friends. Sometimes they actually do become legitimately interested in the new groups lifestyle, but oftentimes they only pretend and lead a life of lies
"John thinks he's a punk rocker, I asked him about punk rock music, and he told me all about 'Teenagers' by My Chemical Romance and 'Know Your Enemy' by Green Day. I asked him what his other favorite songs by those bands were and he told me he thought they were one-hit wonders. I guess he's a bit of a poser"

Sidenote: Green Day is awesome but if you only listen to their most recent two albums, then you can't call yourself a fan... or knowledgeable about the subject.

Poser

Someone that thinks a team wants to be like another team because the other team has the better record. Nobody likes to lose, but would you rather lose as you or win as somebody else? It doesn't take any honor to win.
If you're not fighting as you, what's the point of being undefeated? People wouldn't allow their team to lose without a fight, but before they wouldn't let them lose, they wouldn't let them become a poser team. They would rather their team be losers or underachievers who were themselves than to be overachievers who were somebody else, even if it seemed stupid to everybody else.

The two girls posed for a photo for the books before running off with all the money, just like the rest. That made them posers, not heroes.

Poser

Someone who starts claiming to be an asshole to avoid being the same mollycoddle next door or down the street they were growing up, rather than because they really are an asshole.
The poser is imitating assholes now that he/she is no longer imitating kind hearted people.
