faux-litical

adj. overly arrogant yet essentially ignorant, specifically when concerning a given political topic, which can be traced back to a relative ambivalence towards independent thought and a disingenuous need to be deemed acceptable by a like-minded peer group.

The amount of shitty faux-litical memes posted by my friends during an election year is too damn high!

Faux Sleek

(Apologies, I spelt this wrong in the first submission)

Faux Sleek is where an object gives off the appearance of being capable of high quality performance, however this is just a visual appearance. The object's performance does not match it's design.

*A slender redesigned train arrives at the station in Brisbane

Person 1: Check out the shape of that train. I bet it moves super fast!
Person 2: Nah dude, that's faux sleek.
