Fast Fauxward

When a reality television show or competition intentionally re-edits footage for a pre-commercial tease that is not really what occurs when the show returns from break.

Often used to maintain viewer interest or tension through the commercial break.

"America's Got Talent implemented a sly use of Fast Fauxward tonight, as its "coming up" package showed clips of the judges coming down hard on a young girl about to cry... but after the break, the judges actually put her through to the next round with nothing negative to say."

Fauxword

A word that is made up for some purpose and used so often, it's actually accepted as part of the vernacular, without much question.

"Come down before Halloween for our SPOOKTACULAR candy sale!"

Spooktacular would be the fauxword
