Pseudo-cidal

Pseudo-cidal is a word referencing the over use of the word "suicidal" for individuals who claim they are suicidal when there is no clinical evidence of suicidal thoughts/history/severe depression or when individuals will claim they are suicidal to gain an psychiatric inpatient admission for housing/food, and/or use the statement that they are suicidal when they are drunk/high and retract their suicidality once sober.

1. Dude, I have a court date today and I'm going to go to the hospital for the "pseudo-cidal".

2. This patient displays no evidence of suicidal thoughts or plans and appears to be intoxicated upon eval and expressing "pseudo-cidal" presentation.

pseudo-wokeness

Fake wokeness. It's what basically ruined the term "woke".

Examples of pseudo-wokeness:

Calling very small things that aren't even racist "racist" for no real reason.

Discriminating against white people, men, and straight people, thinking it'll "counter" the discrimination against people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ members that happened in the past and the present.

Any sort of corporate pandering

Doing any of the examples of pseudo-wokeness shown here won't fix the fire that is bigotry. It'll just create another "anti-fire" (which is really just another fire) that'll burn down society even more and possibly even strengthen the pre-existing fire.

Pseudo-occupation

When an obscure occupation needs professional title.

MS paint pseudo-hyperbolic expressionism

The artstyle used for those funky, simple drawings, occasionally with suspicious amounts of equally simple gore that gay people on the internet use as reaction images. Mostly used to represent a strong and very high or very low energy emotion. (e.g. anger, unrest, depression, hyper-focus)

MS paint pseudo-hyperbolic expressionism is one the artstyles of all time

Pseudo

An individual who, whether in reaction to having been an outcast in the past or just by the choice to be an overall disagreeable, opinionated individual who usually frequents coffee shops, don’t believe in drinking alcohol and “don’t watch TV” . This is a point of pretension for them, since what TV was and what it has become are vastly different things. The pseudo will sir at a coffee shop etc of preference on a limitless coffee tab and criticize everything except for the few things and people they like. They tend to carry a sense of entitlement and don’t respect rules of any place. If a pseudo is a musician or otherwise somehow involved in the arts, he/ she looks down on the art of others having universal appeal or potential for success.

A) My ex boyfriend’s pseudo friends jammed at his house religiously and if I was around, my every move was under the most critical scrutiny and I was always talked down to. B) The pseudos who ran and practically lived at my neighborhood coffee shop were constantly heckling me when I showed up to get my latte. They did not believe in doing anything but reading or pretending to read and gossiping with and about the other coffee shop regulars. The biggest pseudo announced that he doesn’t watch television . I asked him “What if PBS had an all day marathon of your favorite movies?” He said that would be no exception. Apparently pseudos do it not believe in clothes that match.
