Fauxplause 

When an already proper famous person drops the name of another legendary person for the sole purpose of inducing a moment of applause while being interviewed themselves.
“Joe McHollywood” on late night prefaces a story by stating, “...so I take the movie part, show up to the set, and the first person I meet is none other than Robert deNiro himself...(applause for mentioning deNiro)...and then I proceed to tell HIM to go get me a sandwich mistaking him for a commoner and not recognizing him through his makeup.”

The moment while a studio audience is applauding for the mention of an even bigger star is the fauxplause.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
