Poser

Someone that implies (or says) that because their hair or skin is darker than yours, that they are tougher than you by default, even if they are from further outside a city than you are, or have more money than you do.
There are posers who are from a city, and there are posers who are from outside a city. Some have fair skin and hair, some have dark skin and hair. So really it's a matter of more than just where somebody is from alone.

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.

Hater-poser

A hater who is also a poser. A person who hates on others because said person thinks he knows a lot about something (but he doesn't, he's more a poser ).

Not to be confused with "poser hater ", which is someone who hates on posers .
John: Hey I really like this style of music.

Adam: You don't even know who that artist is . (Gives a stink eye/hater look)

John: Adam is a hater-poser.

Poser

Someone that claims to carry a pocket knife for protection/self defense instead of for the real reason they carry one, to look/sound/feel tough/strong/powerful.
The dorky poser with the glasses stabbed her boyfriend 16 times to have something to show for her not being the same chicken shit people knew her as when she was a kid, and thought that the jury wouldn't see right through her, and support her self-defense testimony. They knew she wasn't really the hardass she was portraying herself as, though she was a bully like any other.

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."

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 😎
