Pretrender  

A trendy kid, who looks exactly like a forever 21 mannequin, and shops exclusively, only at the stores deemed "scene."

They don't fit in, they only try to. They pretend to be trendy. A pretrender is simply a cheap replica of a fashion magazine cut out. They just can't seem to get the look right.

They enjoy playing dress up with their older sister, and grandma's jewelery, and like mixing era clothing, and wearing mismatched clothes.

They often carry full packs of cigarettes, and lighters in their pockets, even though they don't smoke, it's part of the look.
Girl: Ugh she's such a Pretrender I can't believe she's wearing her dad's shirt AGAIN.

Boy: Ummmm, I have the same one...

Girl: OH GOD NOT YOU TO!

Boy: What are you talking about? *takes an invisible puff off of unlit camel"

Pretender 

A woman who initially attempts to give men the impression that she is a prude and does not indulge in casual sex, but behind closed doors, she is very kinky and more than willing to engage in short-term, non-monogamous 'casual' sex with a man.
Do you know Linda? Linda is a Pretender and a Closet Freak. When she is at church, she behaves as if she will not have sex unless she's married, but if she is attracted to you, she will have sex with you the same night you first make her acquaintance.

I hate women who are Pretenders. They act all innocent, wholesome, and sexually conservative in public, then later you find out that they have videos of themselves participating in an orgy.

I love seducing women who are Pretenders. When you talk dirty to them, at first they act offended ... but then minutes later, they will usually let you know that your erotic dirty talk has them turned on. They love to present a prudish façade to men in order to prevent being labeled a "slut" or a promiscuous whore

Protender 

The act of one pretending or proclaiming to be a pro athlete when in reality they are not. Particularly common in the sport of triathlon.

Protenders are fond of applying for as much sponsorship as possible. They are proud to wear more logos than a NASCAR and claim to have "signed" with these sponsors. Yet, in reality, their sponsorship is little more than a cost discount.

Sadly there are several instances of protenders bending the truth or blatantly lying to potential sponsors in order to land a sponsorship, thus stealing said sponsorship from deserving real pros.

Protenders are almost always slow, non-competitve and little more than pack fodder.

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!
