Pseudo-trap

A male character in anime that looks like a girl, but is not intended by the writers to be a trap character.

This typically occurs when a male character is designed to be adrogenous with signature girl eyelashes. If you already know they are a guy, it can often be hard to tell how others thought they were a girl, but this is not always the case.

Albert: “Yeah, he fooled me too, just like Miki from I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying!”

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-intellectual

An individual who spends more time trying to flex their intellect rather than actually wanting to learn. Pseudo-intellectuals aren't unintelligent or uneducated per se, however the crux of the issue is that they are not as intelligent as they are letting on. For example, to be an intellect on a specific subject, an intellectual would read multiple books or articles then study them in order to retain all the information. A pseudo-intellectual would read one article and label themselves an expert on the subject.
Ways to spot a pseudo-intellectual

1. Plagiarising
2. Quoting
3. Using advanced language to make themselves sound smart, but fails because they use the word incorrectly
4. They use their knowledge as a weapon. For example smart people want to pass on the knowledge they have to other people to inform them on a certain subject. Pseudo-intellectuals on the other hand seek to impress and show off, so put others down to increase their feelings of superiority and lower the self worth of others for their own personal gain
5. They like to start arguments whether it is on politics, philosophy, religion or science, but it ends up backfiring on them due to only retaining snippets of information on these topics, but not the full story, whereas their opponent has been pre-educated before the debate and read multiples books and sources on the topic throughly, thus absolutely thrashing the pseudo-intellectual in a debate. Ultimately never begin a debate on something you know nothing about because people will get the impression thag you're just desperate to flex your knowledge when there probably isn't much of it.

Pseudo-random

A set of numbers that seem random but actually aren't. They are predetermined by a computer algorithm that is explicitly designed to generate the most random of the random, if that makes any sense.

The problem with true random is that numbers will often repeat themselves, which to our usage is not ideal. Pseudo-random number generators fixes all that.

So ironically, the most random RNG is actually not at all random.
You'd use a pseudo-random number generator for dice
