Fauxhegan 

One who claims to be of Native American, First Nations, and/or American Indian descent in order to gain tribal affiliation and/or potential affirmative action benefits when, in reality, neither can the pedigree be traced, nor can the DNA evidence in themselves and/or family members be found. Pronunciation rhymes with 'Mohegan', the US Federally Recognized Tribe based in Southeastern Connecticut, for which the large resort casino 'Mohegan Sun' is named. 'Faux' (pronounced 'Foh') comes from French and means 'fake' or 'imitation' in common American English usage.

Becky is such a Fauxhegan... she only said she was Native so she wouldn't get blown up on Instagram for her insensitive, highly culturally-appropriating Coachella headdress.

Bruh, your DNA test didn't show even a trace of First Nations ancestry... stop being such a Fauxhegan.

fauxhemian 

A trend in which folks pretend to live out the lives of poor individualists, while maintaining their financial security, and often using it to carry out this fantasy.

Speaker 1: Did you see Celebrity X wearing that bohemian shirt?!
Speaker 2: She probably paid $200 for it, that's sooo fauxhemian

fauxhemian 

A conformist passing herself off as a nonconformist by going to great lengths to conform to an allegedly nonconforming alternative conformity rather than conforming to the mainstream conformity that she thinks is stiflingly conformist.

Marked by a notable lack of originality and creativity, an absence of genuine artistic talent, and carefully maintained escape routes so that she can give up the game when it stops being convenient.

It costs her a lot of money to look so down-and-out." "Yeah, fauxhemianism is an expensive lifestyle.

fauxhemian 

Conforming to a safe, middle class lifestyle but with the superficial pretense of an alternative or Bohemian lifestyle.

People who live in Stoke Newington or read The Guardian may like to believe they maintain the values of their radical student days but the shallowness of their fauxhemian conceit would quickly be revealed if they were expected to sacrifice some aspect of their comfortable lives.

Pretending you have your shit together but in reality you're completely unorganized

The teacher was very fauxrganized because he said he would give the students their tests back on Tuesday but didn't until Friday.

Fauxhemian, or fauxbo, refers to wealthy people and places that carry a pretense of artistic sophistication. Fauxhemians think they are artsy, when really they are more fartsy, as their great wealth and comfortable lifestyles keep them from authentic expression, familiarity with the street, and any real impetus to truly oppose the system (since they still benefit too much from it).

Hipster #1-"Shopping at Whole Foods does not make you an intellectual. There isn't even a decent music venue in this town."
Hipster #2-"Yeah, Pasadena is so fucking fauxhemian."
Hipster #1-"Yeah, let's go to Glendale, that's where the REAL revolution is gonna take place."
Hipster #2-"Fuck yeah, Glendale is indie-tastic!"
