Someone that claims to have gotten street smart from growing up on the back streets of somewhere like Orange County or Montana or claims to be a student of human behavior to sound more alert, studious and socially conscious than they actually are, since they're always asking people around them what the fuck is going on. All this is really a defense mechanism to hide the dork beneath the surface. Another one of their favorite defense mechanisms is to imitate someone that other people might describe as unbearable, thinking that by imitating somebody like that, they become somebody like that in actuality.
The poser was none of what he/she claimed to be, but knew that if he/she started being himself/herself, nobody would want to be around him/her, and nobody would want him/her around (except possibly other like minded posers).

One who changes their personailty, attitude, and looks based on an influence. The person can also be considered fake. If a sport is involved, a poser may pretend to be good at it. If a clique is involved, the poser may adapt the steriotype style of the clique. Posers are widely disliked throughout... everywhere.
Chris: Dude that fatass Mike can't seriously skate, why does he even try?
Sean: Dude, because he's the biggest poser I know

A person that believes heavily in cliques or social status, therefore acting differently around other people just to fit in. Posers usually end up having little or no friends in the end, because of these factors.
When people are not around:
Friend: Don't you think Star Wars is better than Titanic?
Poser: Hell yeah.
When people are around:
Friend: Don't you think Star Wars is better than Titanic?
Poser: Dude you're really gay.
Friend: Don't you think Star Wars is better than Titanic?
Poser: Hell yeah.
