Fauxnomenon

A fake (faux) phenomenon, usually picked up on by the news-media, using bogus or highly unusual anecdotes to construct a false 'trend'.

Media outlets from the New York Times to Fox News absolutely love these, because they fill column space and news time, anyone can comment on them / write them and appear informed without actual research or investigative work, and they make for 'sexy' stories.

Common features of fauxnomenon stories include: Teens, sex, drugs, teens and sex, teens and drugs, teens and sex and drugs.

These types of fauxnomenon stories are often called 'moral panic' stories.

Mom: "Hey there honey, you haven't been going to Rainbow Parties, have you? It's where girls all get different colors of lipstick, and then they blow every boy at the party until their penises look like rainbows! I know kids are doing it these days because I saw it on Fox and CNN and Oprah, and I'm worried. They wouldn't put it on TV if it weren't true."

Daughter: "Mom, that's just a fauxnomenon! It's designed to play on your fear of teen sex and drum up ratings."

Mom: "Really?"

Daughter: "Yeah. That jenkem thing is totally legit, though."

fauxment

A fake comment on a Facebook status or picture. The comment is typed, then a screenshot is taken before the comment is submitted.

A fauxment is never actually submitted, and is typically a release of anger towards a person or an off-color remark that could be seen as offensive by others.

The other day, John posted the stupidest status about how much he loves Suzy, even though he's a closeted homosexual who has sex with me behind her back. I made a fauxment that said, "Oh yeah?! If you love Suzy so much how come last night you told her you were sick and then came to my place and fucked me senseless?"
