Fauxlosophy 

The imparting of make belief wisdom, spiritual advice and meaningless waffle, usually given by vacuous self absorbed 'influencers' via a social media platform. Generally accompanied by a bikini clad pose in some exotic location and/ or a generic borderline inspirational quote, borrowed from a slightly more creative part time yoga teacher/ uber driver/ photographer/ long boarder/ spiritualist. On occasion a real quote from a real philosopher may be used but often in the incorrect context.
“Life takes you to unexpected places, love brings you home”

Thankful for every moment I get to spend home. Even the quick trips like this make my heart smile. I appreciate every little moment with my family and friends and thankful for those truck rides down old country roads, loving from my horses and many days and night on this beautiful lake. Home is good for the soul✨ "

Correct response: "Shut up Amber with your fauxlosophy, you fucking nitwit"
Incorrect response: "aww babe you are so cute" followed by countless fire emojis

fauxlosophy 

Portmanteau of "faux" and "philosophy," literally "fake knowledge"

Pertains to any extended and long-winded argument that may make sense, but has absolutely no meaning whatsoever or use in any real-life context.

Also has nothing to do with the actual study of knowledge and metaphysical understanding.
"If you like catgirls, you are a furry."

"Wait, what? Where did that come from? Besides, catgirls have fur on the ears only, while furries are furry everywhere. There's a clear distinction."

"But where is the logical distinction between where furries end and catgirls begin? Is there a limit? If a catgirl has a single strand of fur on her arm, does that make her a furry?" And what is the catgirl transforms into a furry, what is she then? How can we distinguish what is catgirl from what is furry? This is truly the question of our times."

"Your fauxlosophy is ridiculous, and somewhere Aristotle is rolling over in his grave."

3. i.e. a sentimentalist
"Don't worry about her guilt trips and accusations, she's just speaking her feelosophy. Just 'cause she feels that way, doesn't automatically make it true."

"Wow, did you see that crazy New-Age Hippy guy spouting his profound feelosophy all over us at the drum circle?"

"Gee, people who say "do whatever makes you feel good," are pretty dumb. If I like slamming heroin into my arm every night, should I continue to do it? These people need to get their feelosophy straightened out

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
