pretendies

Slang for mid-grade pot. Short for "pretend kind" buds. Usually a kind strain but poorly grown or accidently allowed to germinate from male plants. Still better than schwag, but not as good as kind. Going rates in Boulder, CO..

kind bud...$50 per 1/8th ounce. Very nice. No seeds. Smells/tastes great. 1-3 hits should do you. See Northern Lights.

Pretendies...$100 per ounce. Usually green and fluffy. Perhaps some seeds. Smells/tastes good. May need 2-5 hits for nice groove. Sometimes called beesters.

Schwag...$60 per ounce. Can be dark green or brown. Lots of seeds. Sometimes formed in brick squares. Smells/tastes earthy or like dirt. Will need 4+ hits to get high. Sometimes only produces headache.
Dude, I can't get any kind buds. How 'bout we buy some pretendies?

pretentious

Definitely two meanings, and they really depend on the attitudes of the user, and what the user thinks is fake or real. So:

A) "Pretentious" can be a useful phrase to describe something that is fake or pretend, or somebody who is pretending in order to conform. Sometimes it is still used that way.

B) Its meaning has also become completely the opposite. In the English-speaking world, "pretentious" has become a catch-all phrase to criticize anything or anyone that is vaguely heartfelt, intellectual, earnest, sincere, artistic, unconventional, nonconformist, non-commercial, or not on TV, on Youtube or in the supermarket.
Take your pick:

A) The blonde in American Beauty, Angela Hayes, lied about having lost her virginity and being sex-mad. In fact, she was an insecure virgin, and worried about what people would think of her. So she pretended to be a slut. She was pretentious.

B) The lonely boy in American Beauty, Ricky Fitts, who thought the plastic bag in the wind was beautiful couldn't really have thought that, he just wanted to be different from other people, and was pretending to be deep. He was pretentious.
