Refers to an assistance-related question --- either a request for a favor or an offer to provide help yourself --- regarding a slightly "cranky" subject dat da person whom you're approaching might otherwise feel annoyed/embarrassed to be queried about; you therefore "soften the blow" by humorously "packaging" your question as a knock-knock joke, and using da first name of dat geeky-lookin' Prez wif da round-rimmed spectacles as da name of da "visitor" in da joke.
Here are da two “classic” ways dat ya would smilingly employ da “pince-nez president poser” to hopefully lessen da distress dat your listener would likely feel to be asked said question:
To ask da person for his assistance:
“Knock, knock…”
”Who’s there?”
“Woodrow!!!”
”Woodrow, who?”
“Woodrow be reasonably able to ___ for me sometime in da next few days?”
Or to offer da person your own assistance:
“Knock, knock…”
”Who’s there?”
“Woodrow!!!”
”Woodrow, who?”
“Woodrow like me to ___ for you occasionally, if it’s reasonably convenient for both of us?”

Get the pince-nez president poser mug.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."

Get the Poser mug.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 😎

Get the ghost poser mug.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.

Get the Hater-poser mug.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.

Get the Poser mug.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.
