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).

Get the Posermug. 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.

Get the posermug. 1) George W Bush is a poser, he's from Connecticut and poses as a Texas boy.
2) The midget behind the counter calling the soccer dad a suburban geek was from suburban Philly himself, which made him both a poser and a hypocrite. He was one of the hypocrites who thought everybody wasn't a hypocrite, especially himself.
