faux-inverse

An inversion involving conflation.

Usually involves inverting the position of the structural (future-to-past) truth and the formalistic (past-to-future) truth; and then conflating the formalistic truth with the structural truth.

Ie. the formalistic truth becomes the structural truth.

The semantic.

A faux-inverse juxtaposes both inversion and conflation.

Faux-High

When someone pretends to be high, when really they aren't. The truth is, they're too afraid to actually do drugs, so they trick others into thinking that they're high. To do that, they act very high, such as air-heady.

1:"Wow, Joe is really high."
2:"Haha, Joe? Nah, he's faux-high."
1:"For real? Wow..."

Faux Beard

A beard no longer than 1/2 inch long used by hipsters to get jobs in coffee shops and pick up impressionable chicks wearing converse shoes. You may not "get it" at first. If it is "hollywood scruff" and under 1/8 of an inch it does not qualify. Rednecks who can't grow beards also don't qualify. To distinguish between the two, ask if they like the new Toby Keith album. If they say, "Who?" Then you have encountered a hipster with a faux beard.

Wow, that guy in the Verizon 4G commercial with the rocket totally has a faux beard. I didn't even know hipsters liked rockets.

faux posh

an embarrassingly tactless person who acts and speaks as though they are significantly more high-class than they really are.

"Simon speaks so eloquently and with such great articulation. He wears those weird shirts with elbow patches, too... He seems to be really posh."

"Simon? Posh? Ha! No... He grew up just as poor as we did. He just became faux posh when he got the gig on that YouTube channel."

Faux Sure

Faux Sure is when one person promises or tells another person to definitely count on him/her/they/we/us/he-she/she-he/she-he-he/he-she-she to do a specific something or favor and then totally lets the person down by failing to perform.

That was the third time that Dick Johnson let Virgina down with a Faux Sure to get her in bed by 10:00 PM.

Faux Hardcore

Fake hardcore, also for screamo and metalcore. Taking classic 80's and 90's hardcore, screamo, and metallic hardcore (metalcore), by completely debauching the subgenre(s) from over use of "break downs", unnecessary clean vocals, weak death metal vocals/growls, unoriginal and overused "hardcore attitude" (ranging from tough guy, integrity, and "brotherhood" themed lyrics).

The most hardcore bands ever are like Emmure & Attack! Attack! No man, that's Faux Hardcore....

Faux Virgin

Someone who chooses to reject their first coital experience as being legitimate, because they were either intoxicated, incoherent and/or completely embarrassed. (Aka Fake Virgin)

L: "Who was that guy that you said you lost your v-card to again?"
M: "Oh, actually I've decided that, that didnt count because of reasons I'd rather not talk about. So I'm just going to tell everyone I'm still a virgin."
L: "So you're a faux virgin."
M: "Well...yeah"
