Fake Foreigner

Pejorative name for often monolingual foreign passport holders who despite living their entire lives in the country they are based in, still introduce themselves as foreign citizens of a country from which they don't speak its official language and are unfamiliar with the local culture and customs.

"Coco keeps telling people she is from Argentina, but the other day she couldn't tell us what its capital was."

"Dude, she is a fake foreigner, didn't you know?"

"Fake foreigners can attend any university they want because they are excempt from taking the National College Entrance Examination."

"You can tell Vicky and David are fake foreigners because even-though they both claim to be from New Zealand, they only lived there for 6 months and can barely say a few words in English."

Newbie Foreign Tactics

When in fighting games as a decent rank player, you struggle against a new or low-ranked player due to the fact that they use strategies and their characters' kit in such a way that you have never seen before, or use a strategy that you haven’t seen in such a long time.

I was playing some games online and I for some reason struggled against a player that was way worse than me. They played so weird and the fight would’ve been easy if it wasn’t for their Newbie foreign tactics.

Foreign Pretty

when someone is cute and pretty, but not the standard English way - so 'hot' or 'fit'. But they're cute in a different way. And they do not look like a slut or a slag. Used only when someone is actually foreign, from a different country.

Sarah - "Are you foreign?"
Lilia - "Yes, why?"
Sarah - "You are very foreign pretty!"

Ringo: That cheeky bugger.
