When Ryan Mayle acts like he is listening but really he is focused on other things... Generally he just yups, and yeahs a person while they are speaking. Quite possibly and more than likely, he is thinking about the future Petty Officer Mayle or tater tots.

Get the pretend listeningmug. A person of mainly or full Mexican descent who fancies himself/herself as a Native American in order to gain status, usually based on similair features and/or surnames.
A slang-term for Native Americans to put down other Native Americans by implying they are "half breeds" or not true Native Americans. Also used to imply inferiority.

Get the Mexican Pretendermug. A person who attempts to moderate a forum even though they have never been, nor will they ever be, appointed a real moderator.
These net-nuisances are often known to use the report post to moderator button more often than the submit post button.

Get the pretend moderatormug. Children: "You be queen and I'll be king. Let's pretend."
Adults: "Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits this weekend."

Get the pretend lesbianmug. A doujinshi about two guys, Kanata and Takkun. Takkun gets rejected all his life so his friend Kanata helps him by pretending to be his girlfriend. Things go sideways real fast as they caught feelings for each other.
Ice cream isn't what's written in the script... the correct line is "want me to play pretend girlfriend now?"
A few minutes later
Let's rub our dicks together.

Get the Pretend girlfriendmug. This is a person who knows a little more than the average person about computers but not enough to truly be helpful. Usually someone who knows enough to be dangerous or harmful to a computer or it's software but never truly fix an issue.
These people "Pretend" to be valid, professional, well-trained techs. Their charges for services tend to be higher greater than normal because they are really not out to provide a service but only to provide you with a means of blowing your hard earned cash on repairs and replacements that were never needed to fix the original issue.

You can tell a true computer tech from a pretend-a-tech by presenting them with a computer that needs fixed.
A real computer tech will:
Fix the original issue
Also fix any other apparent issues
Clean and optimize the hard drive
Check for Updates & MORE!
All in 2 hours or less for under 150 bucks
A pretend-a-tech will:
Ignore the stated issues
Find several issues that never existed
Recommend that several pieces of hardware need replaced
Cause several issues to come up as a result of their fix
Charge you for 5+ hours of work and tell you that you need a new computer (which you could have bought for the cost of their "service")
You can also tell a pretend-a-tech by the amount of "big" computer words they try and drop in a sentence, real techs understand that all people don't know "techie" and will translate into english, pretend-a-techs will try to complicate their little speech so a rocket scientist couldn't understand what they were saying.
This is where they get you, most people decide at that point that they must know what they are talking about since they speak the language.
The only way to avoid a pretend-a-tech attack is to ask for an explanation in english, if the english explanation makes no sense then you might be in the midst of a pretend-a-tech.
