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.

fauxpology 

When a person makes it sound like they are apologizing when, in fact, they are just shifting the blame or using twisted logic to argue their way out of responsibility for their actions.
When George said, "I guess we all just have to accept some of the blame here," I stopped listening because I knew it was just going to be another fauxpology.

Flirting that doesn't go anywhere

Fauxpology 

An insincere apology.
Anne and Brian did not offer up a fauxpology; it was sincere.
Fauxpology by ThundercockFTW October 8, 2017
A pejorative term used regionally in Vancouver, BC, to denote the falseness or fraudulence of the "New" Cobalt. The Cobalt was once a world renowned hardcore music venue catering to the Punk & Metal scenes. It nurtured the early careers of countless local and touring bands as well as provided a place for established bands to play in an authentic atmosphere with a truly wicked sound system. Now under new management the Cobalt has reopened as a den of posers and tryhards happily throwing dance parties on the ashes of Vancouver's music scene.
Trendy Hipster: "Hey Man, are gonna check out the dance party at the Cobalt this weekend?"

Metalhead: "FUCK THAT!!! DEATH TO THE FAUXBALT!!!"
