How a poser spells "poser".
As the online etymology dictionary states, "The word is English poser in French garb, and thus could itself be considered an affectation."
The French word "poseur" is absolutely not used in that context, which further points out that this spelling is not the correct, original one.

Get the poseur mug.Someone that has a different name, look/image, and language than the one they spoke as a kid (a language more like an imitation of someone else's) to get liked/accepted by others more than they were as a kid.
He/she must have wanted to be a poseur when he/she grew up, because he/she is speaking in someone else's tongue instead of his/her own, but then again he/she always imitated other people growing up too, without really ever being someone that other people thought about imitating as a kid.

Get the Poseur mug.The poseur didn't believe there was anybody out there who wasn't trying to take advantage of any oppurtunity they could, or try and walk over anybody they could, or that if there was somebody like that, they were doing it for the same reason he/she was, to win or make himself/herself look good/popular (or even outcast if that made him/her popular with other people that had been rejected by others, anything to keep himself/herself from ending up alone). The poseur didn't really believe there was such a thing as goodness, but knew how to manipulate people through organizations such as religious organizations by speaking a language that he/she thought people wanted to hear (such as there are good people out there or the world can change it's heart). The poseur never once thought that the world might not want it's heart changed for it, that the world thought it's heart was good the way it was, the poseur never once thought that because the poseur didn't give a fuck what people thought about anything, but desperately cared what people thought of him/her (despite saying the opposite, that he/she cared about people but not what they thought).

Get the Poseur mug.The poseur called the skyline of the state capital their skyline, (as she wasn't originally from the state capital, and it really was their skyline, the people originally from the state capital) but convienently neglected to call the skyline of the state's largest city their skyline too, (as she wasn't originally from the state's largest city either, and it really was their skyline, the people originally from the state's largest city) instead calling it "our" skyline to make herself appear to be less of an outsider to locals she was trying to walk all over by benefitting from being seen as one of their own (though she was not, she wasn't who she said she was).

Get the Poseur mug.Someone that goes the Joan Rivers route after trying the high route and every other route. Someone that made fun of something or someone, then turned into it.
The poseur always used to make fun of people that were different or not like him/her at school, next thing you know, he/she is claiming to be different/colorful/quirky in another town than the one he/she went to school in where hardly anybody from his/her town knows him/her well enough (from childhood) to notice this bullshit. Now he/she goes by a different name and image, one closer to an imitation of the people he/she once made fun of.

Get the Poseur mug.A poseur's highlight reel frame by frame.
This is the poseur's skiing trip, this is her scuba diving trip, this is her college graduation,she just showed everybody the highlight reels frame by frame instead of projected as a continuous motion picture. A poseur photo album if I ever saw one.

Get the Poseur photo album mug.Someone still trying to earn their local yokel stripes in their late 30's instead of being themself.
The poseur was a big fish in a small pond back in the small town he was from, where he was a known town bully, and he expected the locals in others places to treat him not only as one of their own, but as the big fish there. He was the kind of guy that robbed a boutique store for female's clothing and sold it back to unsuspecting females to try and get respect from people that didn't even know him, trying to make a name for himself.
