Musical poser

Someone who tries to make fun of all the people that made fun of them in songs.

The musical poser made songs about people who made fun of him/her growing up so that nobody would mess with the musical poser.

Poser

You know even if a guy in a statue of liberty outfit has a big smile on his face while he's selling insurance, he cries himself to sleep every night even though he looks like he's having a lot of fun, and he's pretending to be having fun. It would be interesting to see a guy wearing a statue of liberty suit pissed off or frowning and telling people to buy their product even though it doesn't work so he can keep his job since he's got mouths to feed and would much rather be a poet or a musician.

This guy/girl is a poser, you know that selling insurance doesn't really make him/her happy, even if he/she is good at what he/she does. The poser can keep compromising and crying himself/herself to sleep at night.

Poser

Someone that thinks they are a lot spookier/scarier than they actually are.

The narcissistic girl saw a badass shark when she looked in the mirror, and thought that everyone else could see in her what she saw in herself when they looked at her, but they weren't looking at her appearance, they were looking at her spirit, and all they saw was a plain poser that everyone had always been trying to keep from drowning.

Poser

Someone that is not who they say they are. Someone that tries to discredit a company (UPS, a retailer for examle) because they didn't get as much money as they wanted for something.

The girl was trying to discredit the company to defend her feisty (and false) image. Someone that really is feisty doesn't have to tell people around them often about how feisty they are to get attention or attempt to scare the shit out of people, and anybody that does that, big or small, is a poser.

Poser

One who attempts to make friends or become closer friends with a group of people by feigning interest in a particular area of culture (music, clothing, social activities).

Generally a poser is someone who lacked friends for not fitting in with any real group, they decided to become more like everyone to make friends. Sometimes they actually do become legitimately interested in the new groups lifestyle, but oftentimes they only pretend and lead a life of lies

"John thinks he's a punk rocker, I asked him about punk rock music, and he told me all about 'Teenagers' by My Chemical Romance and 'Know Your Enemy' by Green Day. I asked him what his other favorite songs by those bands were and he told me he thought they were one-hit wonders. I guess he's a bit of a poser"

Sidenote: Green Day is awesome but if you only listen to their most recent two albums, then you can't call yourself a fan... or knowledgeable about the subject.

ghost poser

A person whose likeness is used in place of an authors true likeness in order to protect their privacy and/or appear to be something they are not such that they may be able to speak to certain issues they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

The author was so ugly he hired me to be his ghost poser. Now I’m on the back of every copy of his book 😎

Poser

Someone who acts just to keep up with a stereotype, and later instead of recognizing it, (Yes they're in denial) they tend to call others who aren't even close to a poser a 'Poser'. Pretty much, someone who believes they qualify for that certain label, but can't pull it off.

"Man, I'm Scene!" "Um, no, coon tail clip-ons and a BMTH shirt is not Scene, shut the fuck up, you Poser."
