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. Does not have to be a wannabe boarder or someone who listens to good charloette, or anything like, for all you know, it could be a boarder trying to be a nerd! just cause it doesn't happen regularly doesn't mean it's impossible. anyways, a poser is someone who tries to be like a certain group of people, and half the times, aren't even cool. i mean why would you want to be emo? they cause themselves more pain - to deal with pain!
george is a poser, he tries to be a punk by hanging out with other punks but was too scared to enter class late by 10 seconds because he might be taken off the honour roll.
