Pseudonym

A false name used to hide an author's identity.

A pseudonym could not be used in a prank call. That would not authoring anything.
My pseudonym on UrbanDictionary.com is Rodney Basil.

Edward Stratemeyer used the pseudonym Carolyn Keane to write the Nacy Drew series.

I did not use a pseudonym when I told Mr. Diputs that my name was Anita Life, because I said that to his face.

psuedoscience

A belief system that gives itself the trappings of a science when it actually doesn't adhere much to the scientific method. Can range from something as mild as cryptozoology ("monster hunting", which has its heart in the right place but is far too uncritical of things) to various New Age beliefs, creationism, alternative medicine, etc. etc.
My friend went to a chiropractor, but after he found out that the whole field was a psuedoscience he decided to get massages at home.

pseudofeminism

Any speech, ideology, position, or stance that uses the language of feminism to cloak a thoroughly anti-feminist attitude (for example, that women should never be offered advice on how to reduce their risk of rape because it isn't their responsibility to reduce their risk of rape, and offering such advice is therefore insulting, demeaning, and victim-blaming).

Also, the practise of cloaking or justifying socially unacceptable bigotry, rage, or resentment in feminist terms that make it sound enlightened and progressive.
"So, now Caitlin is saying that she's dating Jessica to be more 'womon-affirming', whatever that means." "My god, such pseudofeminism ... wonder how Jessica feels to know Caitlin isn't dating her because she likes her."
