poseur

slang-only
1) N. One who attempts to acheive a status, look or appeal which they do not have the traits to posess. Also could be someone posing as something that they are not, for reasons known or unknown.

2)High-school label. Used as a degrading term toward the sort of people who wear pyramid belts etc. but giggle a lot. However, the label is equally immature.

3)The word that the misspelling "poser" came from, the reason for which being undecided but either
a) George Bush didn't like the fact that "poseur" sounded French, or
b) some moron couldn't spell and it spread.

Sorry, I can't think of an example but you all know what I mean. If you don't, please just look at other examples.

poser

From "poseur." This usually refers to someone who attempts to be part of a clique punk, skater, goth, etc. - never preppy, but out of a desire to be recognized as a member of that clique rather than sincerity. Of late, however, the word has been overused; any newcomer is now generally considered a "poser," regardless of motive.
This word is especially popular in rambling, misspelled sessions on AIM.

1. "Look at him - he dresses in black and says he's a goth, but he's never even read Edgar Allan Poe. What a poser."
2. "omg u r not punk u preppy POSER!!!!!!!1!!!"

poser goth/punk

Some fruity kid that has a bunch of piercings, possibly tattoos (depends, because some of them puss out when they realize what idiots they will look like), pretends that their lives suck as they come to school/work in the luxury sports car their daddy bought them (black, of course "like their soul"), and goes around dissing everyone's music or anyone that listens to a band that has a fanbase of over 2 because it's so not cool to listen to a band that more than 2 people have heard of. Music talent may vary, but mostly they are worthless sacks of shit, so you can only assume the music they make sucks. Also tend to write really awful and morbid poetry, with their only friend the Thesaurus so it makes them look more intelligent than they actually are (which most of them AREN'T).

Last thing that should be mentioned is that they usually wear clothing with a lot of patches on them that don't make any sense, or try to show off their "awesome" nonconformist way, but do not realize they ARE, in fact, conforming. They fit in with the queer crowd quite nicely...

Basically... well, yeah, this trend needs to END... Now go start a terrible grind core band named "Murdering Kittens", and try to look even "cooler".

Cool Goth/Punk 1: Dude, I have so many piercings
Cool Goth/Punk 2: Naw, dude, I have more piercings...
Frustrated father: Kids, kids... Lets settle this... You are both faggots..

poser

word used by people who are very insecure in their own social standing; the entire concept of someone being a poser demeans the true concepts of "antisocial" "cultures" that people seem so eager to jump into; often used by people who are not only hypocritical and judgmental, but who also can't spell poseur .
