i am pretending to type something 

when you are supposed to be doing work at school but you are doing something else on your computer and your teacher walks by so you write "I am pretending to type something" so it looks like you're busy working.
-hey, what were you typing in class yesterday?
-i was typing "i am pretending to type something".

2) A person pretending to be a hipster and/or aspiring to be a part of 'hipster' culture.

I'm part Indian on my great grand mother's brother's uncle's sister side (Pretendian) but I don't have any way of proving it.

pretendster 

A spurious personality registered on a social networking website: very often the individual is claiming to be someone famous, although sometimes the name assumed, and the asscociated character, are completely invented.

Associated terms: foaf; Friendster; fakester; troll; IP
"In this online age of fluid and epic identities, there are Friendsters and there are pretendsters ... This person, whoever they are, ain't no Friendster. She's a lower-cased anti-social butterfly-troll - effecting stagnation amidst the six degrees of separation. Upstanding internet users aren't ashamed to let others know exactly who they are: IP's ain't herpes! She is posing as the pop star, Chrissie Hynde, but I doubt the real Chrissie Hynde would be friends with someone who, it says in their profile, is an inspector for the guild of butchers. The real Chrissie Hynde is an outspoken vegetarian and even her band, called "The Pretenders", never stooped to actually pretending to be someone else. Did you know that Chrissie Hynde cuts her own hair?"

Not Pretending 

A sarcastic phrase popularized by AdmiralBulldog and his circus of clowns, he calls MegaCucks.

Usually used to exhibit bewilderment and disdain against someone's actions or thoughts. This can be a response to somebody when you don't know if they are "pretending" to be dumb. It can be an affirmation of someone's stupidity.

Can be synonymous with replying to somebody who is being deadass wrong.

In other words, the feeling you get when you thought someone's actions or words were a joke but they were not.
John: Wow! Can you believe that Jeffery Ebstein killed himself?!
Matthew: Do you actually believe that?
John: Yeah. I guess he couldn't take the pressure.
Matthew: *shaking head* Not pretending.
