Fauxmage

Fake Cheese. Faux meets Fromage. Even though they are two French words, I think most Anglos know their meaning.
Or maybe Fauxmaggio if you prefer French meets Italian (faux meets fromaggio)?

Fauxmage: Vegan Cheese, Processed cheese.

Fauxpage

A fake facebook page for someone real. Typically the real person will have another facebook page where their real friends are, while the fauxpage is just a public front.

Stan: Hey, you haven't updated your facebook page in a month.
Dan: Oh, that's my fauxpage. Barely update it but it works to prevent people from finding my real profile.

Stan: People like me?
Dan: Yup.

fauxtrage

Fake outrage, usually generated as a way of trying to create a controversy for the purpose of political smearing. Often the main weapon of right-wing bloggers who don't use threats to achieve their goals. Usually involves claims of racism or making huge deals out of small details such as lapel pins.

etymology: faux (French word meaning fake) + outrage (furor or indignation)

"People are talking bad about Sarah Palin! It's obvious sexism! Oh, those horrible hypocritical libs!!"
"Can the fauxtrage. She said something stupid, and people are calling her on it. Seriously, STFU."
