Fake Original 

A Fake Original is someone who appears to be Original and New to a bunch of naive people. But among people of their own kind, they are a dime a dozen. The difference between a Pretender Spender is, the Pretender Spender does not have money or credibility to begin with. The Fake Original is only original among suckers.

Youtube Fake Originals stunt on naive teenagers with Rolls Royces, Lambos and Private Jets. But, in the actual Millionaire world, they are tiny tryhards as everyone who is actually Wealthy owns these vehicles and can actually afford them.

fake originality 

When someone thinks they're so original and clever because they thought up something everyone has heard before.

"I like to call Target 'Tar-jay' to make it sound fancy."
"I don't watch that show, and none of my friends do either. They should call it 'Everybody Hates Raymond.'" (waits for laughter)

"I heard that from someone else today. Enough fake originality."
