Fauxlgers 

A shitty store-brand knockoff of Folgers coffee.
Brian: Hey, get any good coffee?

Meg: No, I went to Pick'n'Save for some own-brand Fauxlgers. It sucks at least as much as Folgers but was slightly cheaper.

Brian: Jesus! Next time get some real coffee, and preferably from a store that doesn't suck so much.

Meg: 10-4. I have a headache now.

Brian: No shit.

fauxgressives 

Hypocritical middle-class white people who think they're liberals when they're really just Democrats. Middle class white people who refuse to take off their Happy Magic Fun Privilege Goggles and see the world around them for what it really is. Self-identified "liberals" who remain willfully ignorant of the struggles faced by members of oppressed races and classes, despite being alerted to their blind spots by their peers. Fauxgressives may decline to participate in social justice activities and movements because they live in large cities and believe that racism, classism, ableism and other forms of prejudice and oppression don't exist anymore. Fauxgressives will cling to their ignorance as an excuse to maintain their social, racial and economic privilege.
