Also fake or phony; a wannabe; unoriginal
Not sure where all of these other, 'Hipster', fugaze/fugazi definitions originate on Urban Dictionary, but they don't illustrate the appropriate tone and meaning of the word. See what I did there? #trash #fake #fronters #lames

--- Etymology (Derived from) ---

Donnie Brasco (Movie - 1997) | From American-Italian slang Fugazi (“fake”); perhaps also slang version of fugacious derived from Latin fugac-, stem of fugāx (“ready to flee, flying”), hence, fleeting, transitory. (slang) Artificial, fake, false. Can be in reference to a thing or person. If a person it is usually in reference to a shady or superficial person. Also, something that has very little substance or intrinsic value.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
