faux mas

A social blunder committed by the fairer half of the human race.

It's wrong and unfortunate that females are given more forgiveness and leniency than males --- a faux PAs is generally judged more harshly than a faux MAs.

faux home button

The new Home button on the iPhone 7. It's just an indent in the screen glass. On iPhones prior to version 7, the Home button was a physical button that moved when pressed. The faux home button relies on vibration to simulate a press.

Apple Fan: "I love my new iPhone 7!"
Sentimental Person: "I remember when the iPhone had actual buttons! Not that faux home button nonsense..."
Apple Fan: "You're just jealous."

Faux

Code word used for a drug. Means fake but actually real, totally throwing anyone else listening or reading off the trail. Fun because you can just be anywhere openly talking about it or even yell out to a friend to bring you some “FAUX!”

Faux faux faux, merry christmas!

Faux Sox

Poseur Boston Red Sox fans, who have been rooting for the team only since 2004 or 2007, but act like they've been lifelong die hards. Normally have no connection whatsoever to the city of Boston. Most are either female and/or college fraternity members. Faux Sox can be easily spotted by their pristine, unbent, perfectly clean Red Sox caps that they pretentiously wear. The male species normally have goattees (as do some of the females).

Fan 1: Did you hear that guy behind us? He just told his friend that they were supposed to stand up for the 6th inning stretch. What a douche.

Fan 2: (turns around; sees frat boy wearing a Red Sox cap) No wonder. He's a Faux Sox. He doesn't know shit about baseball.
