Private property is basically the stuff you, and only you, own but do not participate in using yourself though you get whatever benefit that stuff contributes to. For example, a factory is the private property of a factory owner, though the factory owner (boss) doesn't actually work within the factory and instead hires people (wage laborers) to work in the factory producing stuff, though the boss collects whatever profit the workers in the factory produce.
It is also know as "impersonal property" and is considered the defining part of capitalism. Anarchists (most notably P.J. Proudhon) and communists contrast private property with personal property, personal property being things like the house you live in, your bed, your guitar, your computer, your shoes, etc. which you are actively using for yourself and thus have the right to exclude others. Private property on the other hand creates an illegitimate authority and, according to them, must be abolished.

My boss operates an apple orchard on acres and acres of private property he inherited from his parents and hires us to harvest all the apples for him, and while he makes a great deal of money off the apples he pays those of us who actually pick the fruit $6 an hour, but he's able to because he owns the orchard.

Get the Proper Fitted mug.Does not exist. If it did exist; the definition would be 'someone trying to be a certain stereotype'. However, most people define it in their heads as 'someone who isn't whoever/whatever they are trying to be because; 1, if they have to try then they are fake, or 2, they are trying too hard and failing'. Both of these reasons are judgmental and highly unintelligent. If using the word to refer to someone else, the user is generally saying it to make themselves feel higher than the other because the user feels insecure or low. What the word, in all honesty, really is? A lie.
Insecure 1: "Look at that girl. She tries so hard to be scene. What a fake."
Insecure 2: "Seriously. She fails so bad. What a poser."
Intelligent Life-form: -laughs- "Its funny because I know that the only reason you're saying that is because you're trying to make yourself look better. It's also funny since the only reason you're doing that is because you're insecure about your own self. -laughs- ...and you say she fails."
