fake hipster 

A person who treats hipsterdom as an image instead of a mindset. Also will usually be honest enough to admit to being a hipster, which completely goes against what true hipsters stand for (which is being "non-conformist" to a social stereotype). Other than that, they are often hard to tell between real hipsters. They typically dress like hipsters will, such as skinny jeans, lots of facial hair, and fedora hats, and listen to the same kind of music as real hipsters do. However, fake hipsters often don't have the same level of pretention as a real hipster does, and are less likely to put down others that are not like them.

fake hoe 

A common waist of time for men looking for an actual hoe. Girl 14-24 who is very flirty and playful and pretends to be interested in you (and everyone else). They are often attractive girls who are looking for extra attention. Fake hoes are much more irritating than an actual hoe because they rarely follow through after leading you on. They have a good excuse for their behavior of "just being friendly." They blend in at a collage party and church. The better they are at blending into these places the more fakeness of the hoe. a full blown fake hoe is someone involved in the church going on missions trips and such activities and is than seen planning a party, flirting hard, and or having sex within a week of the church activity.
