Brain poser

A brain poser highlights the act of "posing" as intelligent. It combines "brain" with "poser," immediately signaling someone who's faking intelligence.

"He spent twenty minutes using all sorts of fancy jargon, but it was clear he was just a brain poser trying to impress the boss."

pince-nez president poser

Refers to an assistance-related question --- either a request for a favor or an offer to provide help yourself --- regarding a slightly "cranky" subject dat da person whom you're approaching might otherwise feel annoyed/embarrassed to be queried about; you therefore "soften the blow" by humorously "packaging" your question as a knock-knock joke, and using da first name of dat geeky-lookin' Prez wif da round-rimmed spectacles as da name of da "visitor" in da joke.

Here are da two “classic” ways dat ya would smilingly employ da “pince-nez president poser” to hopefully lessen da distress dat your listener would likely feel to be asked said question:
To ask da person for his assistance:
“Knock, knock…”
”Who’s there?”
“Woodrow!!!”
”Woodrow, who?”
“Woodrow be reasonably able to ___ for me sometime in da next few days?”
Or to offer da person your own assistance:
“Knock, knock…”
”Who’s there?”
“Woodrow!!!”
”Woodrow, who?”
“Woodrow like me to ___ for you occasionally, if it’s reasonably convenient for both of us?”

Feel like Pommerin

The constant state of being wasted and wasting your life away.

There’s a Poser in the punch bowl!

Anyone who’s pretending to be something they’re not.

The Bass player from nefarious is a total poser! Saw him in a hoodie and the blowfish cover band. Now he plays in a metal band. There’s a poser in the punch bowl!
