real-fake

A real-fake is anything that is fundamentally fake, but is still treated legitimately real in certain contexts. Real-fakes are different from knock-offs, which approximate the real thing, but never claim to actually be the real thing.
These bootleg Wayfarers aren't knockoffs, they're real-fakes because they have the Ray-Ban logo on them and they are cosmetically similar to genuine Ray-Bans, so that the glasses appear real.

My girlfriend and I got real-fake married to qualify for better financial aid. In principle and on paper, our marriage is real, but in practice we're still just dating.

In college, I lived with 14 of my friends in a single house. We jokingly decided to make it a real-fake fraternity and hang letters over the balcony, but the experience was almost like living in a real one.
