Fred Poeser

Fred Poeser is a strict taker of the phones. A round fella for sure but all and all lovable. If you come across a Fred Poeser don't let him see your phone, he WILL take it away. He is a lover of guppies and keeps pigeons in his attic. He is a flannel enthusiast and will occasionally say hello. He has beautiful silver locks which he will let down on the special day. If he walks by it will smell like fish or guppy feed, so hold your nose.
If you shoot a Fred Poeser then a bird will fly out of the bullet hole so don't shoot him.
Person 1: Hey is that Fred Poeser?
Person 2: Dawg put your phone away
Person 1: Oh dear god! What's that fish smell?
Person 2: Dude, it's Poeser, he flushed his guppy down the toilet.
Person 3: But which one?

Poeser (suddenly behind them) : All of them! And now give me all your phones!

art poser 

Someone who completely lacks any artistic talent or creativity whatsoever. Always talking about themselves and their "work", these people go to great lengths to appear as real artists. Art posers have never had an original thought or idea in their lives but act as though everything they do is groundbreaking and original. They always hang together in little cliques and are highly suspicious of any "outsider"--particularly real artists who might expose them for what they really are. The titles of their "work" are always pretentious and completely meaningless; for example, a grey canvas with a small pink spot in one corner, titled "The Juxtaposition of Random Gratification #109." The lengthy descriptions they give of their "work" consist of rambling pseudointellectual bullshit that took 25 times the amount of time to compose than the actual piece itself; this is to compensate for the fact that the work only took 15 minutes to make, with no artistic ability at all. Art posers are typically so delusional that they don't realize how delusional they are. Art posers always worship Andy Warhol and strive to be just like him. Art posers often stand around in galleries, pretending to find deep meaning in other art posers' work. They frequently use the word "ambiguous" and will spend half an hour offering a pseudointellectual analysis of a grey, or blank canvas. Art posers have been known to mistake light switches in galleries as part of the sculptural exhibit.
Tasha is such an art poser.

This gallery sucks, what a bunch of art posers!

To pose: To pretend, to be somebody you're not, to be part of a culture or genre just to fit in.
Don't be such a Thomas, you only listen to Metal because all of your "friends" do, you big poser!

Nerd Poser 

A person who tries to act like a nerd and refuses to accept the fact that he/she is not smart.
Eugene: It is just so annoyingly distressing that Jake displays this pretentious act to delude others to beleive he is what he is not--a classic, certified nerd.

Ludwig: Yes, yes. I have no choice, but to agree with your opinion on Jake's deceiving behavior. Personally, I will define him as a NERD POSER.

Both: (snickering and snorting in a nerdy manner.)

The ability to keep going even of you think the task is too much too handle. Being able to handle anything that comes in your direction, even though it may seem impossible. The ability to take on and concur whatever may face you. The fortitude to keep your mindset and keep pushing towards the goal.
My preserverance was strong enough to defeat my battle against the demons in my mind. I preserved the strength that I learned and used it against my enemies.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
