Patrick Bateman Wannabe

Pretty much every pretentious alpha male who has worked for one of the big four banks in NZ. Typically possesses a hugely inflated sense of self with little time or patience for anyone that doesn't fit the mold of white, financially thriving, photogenic or doesn't look like they belong at the Boxing Day races or America's Cup shenanigans. Most likely has a massive mortgage for some dodgy semi-renovated villa in Ponsonby or Grey Lynn, just because those suburbs are designed to accommodate people who are 'cultured'. The PB Wannabe are only into women who wear one of those tacky gold Cartier bangles that you can't get off without a key and considers Jane Birkin to be their 'muse'.

If you don't know Patrick Bateman Wannabe's coffee order off by heart, consider yourself an unprofessional loser who needs more formal training.

Wannabe gangsters

Teens who live in an upper middle class suburb with high income families and loving parents, but want to act like there from the hood. They throw fake gang signs, sag their pants, and think they have opps. Tend to say that they’re from the trenches and know the struggle but their mother drives a Range Rover and they live in a 2 million dollar house. They genuinely belive there hard but would not Survive even 2 hours in an actual low income neighborhood.

Wannabe gangsters: cuh, you don’t know the struggle I’m from da streets

Person: shut the fuck up you were on vacation to Paris last month

theatrical wannabe lesbian

A gay man who displays traits that of a lesbian involved with the performing arts that also has a flamboyant and obnoxious demeanor. Also has an unnecessary amount of attitude.

Typically also lacks a thought process in most scenarios.

“Today this man came up to me and said I didn’t pass the vibe check because I didn’t know the ‘Newsies’ script… and then he took off his Nike slides and tossed them at my head”

that’s just a theatrical wannabe lesbian.

Wannabe Kemetite

An African-American of either West African or non-Egyptian ancestry who believes that ancient Egypt was ruled completely by Black Africans for all of it’s history, also attributing most, if not all, inventions of ancient Egypt to only Black Africans.

No Jamal, “Black” Canaanites did not invent the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet -_-. “Black” Canaanites also did not invent the Phoenician alphabet either, you wannabe Kemetite.
