FauxPo

Those white cars out there that look exactly like the vehicles policemen drive, except they are usually driven by little old ladies. Can often become a parade maker even on the highway.

"Hey Jim slow down there's a cop behind us!"
"Alright I'm goin the speed limit now"
(as old lady whizzes by in white car)
"Are you kidding! It's just the FauxPo!!"

fauxplaining

When someone fakely complains about something to draw attention to the very thing being complained about; false whining in an attempt to obtain 'clout' from peers.

Girl: Ugh, I have so much AP Bio, AP Stat, AP English, and AP Chem work. I hate being in such smart classes.

Boy: Will you please stop fauxplaining.

Girl: Bruh I am so addicted to nicotine I hate it.

Boy: You're just fauxplaining so people know you vape.

fauxpocrisy

The act of preaching against something, admitting defeat, and then partaking in that thing. Tends to occur when individuals are upset at a societal norm that is too difficult to change, but not difficult enough to pretend to be better than.

That girl who said she didn't want a diamond engagement ring because they were part of an expensive corporate-fabricated tradition based on blood diamonds, committed fauxpocrisy when she ended up getting and showing off her diamond engagement ring.

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

fauxhound

A pessimist who thinks they're wise to the world and claims to see through bullshit. Instead of wearing rose colored glasses they wear black tinted glasses.

John: 9/11 was obviously an inside job!

Greg: Stop being such a fauxhound John.
