Poseur

Someone that wants to look and sound the part without really being it.

The girl got a beanie with a crocheted visor to prove she didn't wear a beret and wasn't a snob, not because she actually delivered newspapers, magazines, phone books, or any other periodicals for work as a young boy/girl, a teenager, or even a 20 something, because she was a desperate poseur. She had actually always had more money than the people she was trying to make fun of, but wanted to look tougher because she thought she really was tougher.

poseur

Someone that sees glory and dollar signs in someone else's life and wants it for themself.

Your father was never a hard ass with you, he was always protective and civil with you because you were soft and nerdy as a kid, quit being a poseur to try and gain fame/riches/respect/power from it.

Poseur

Someone that needs their peers to believe in them, and thinks that everyone else needs the same thing to keep going.

The poseur was a narcissist, she claimed to be different but deep down she saw her own image when she looked at everyone else, and thought that everyone else was the same way.

poseur

Someone that winks to feign joking without the other person knowing that their intention wasn't really to joke.

The poseur told the other person how to join her poseur cult and winked after she said it to indicate she was feigning kidding while looking and sounding serious (but claimed to not care what anybody thought of her even though everyone else did care what people thought of them).

Poser

Someone trying to push an agenda of equality, justice, and hope, even though none of it is anything to them, none of it was ever sacred enough to them to be anything to them. Two sides don't have to agree or get along to be equal, since equality never meant any two people ever had to get along or agree on anything. Equality also doesn't mean two people have to be friends because they are equal. People are not better or worse than their enemies.

The poser claimed to be for equality, justice, reform, and hope, but really those were all surface matters in her power struglle for control of a town she wasn't originally from, and one that would never really be anything to her besides a playground.

Poser

Somebody that says they get something they really don't so that people will pay attention to them, as seeking attention is always part of their agenda.

The poser said she got something everyone else said they got so that she wouldn't be the only one among them that didn't get it, she would be part of their group, she would see herself as being in with the group, even if not everybody did see in her what she saw in herself, as not everyone was looking through the same narcissistic lens.
