Pseudic

Pronounced: Puh-soy-dic adjective used to describe someone or something that is completely fake, artificial, or hypocritical. It refers to a person who wears a false mask or acts insincerely just to impress others or hide their true intentions. It strips away the childishness of the word "phony" and replaces it with a sharp, clinical diagnosis of someone's fakeness.

"What kind of hypocrites are you playing on? Be aware, I do not find pleasure in pseudic acts.".

Or.

"Blud's whole character is based on pseudic fantasy."

Or
"Do not insult my intelligence with this performance, Lord Harrington. Your grief is nothing but a pseudic display—a meticulously crafted pantomime designed to shield you from the gallows. But a false mask always cracks under the light of truth."

Or

"Behind a painted smile, the shadows creep,
A pseudic heart where buried secrets sleep.
Thou speak’st of honor, yet thy footsteps tread

Where grand illusions and false truths are fed."

pseudocode 

Pseudocode is a description of a computer programming algorithm that uses the structural conventions of programming languages, but omits detailed subroutines or language-specific syntax. It can also refer to a high level 'language' whose aim is to generalise the logic and program flow of a computer program

An example of how pseudocode differs from regular code is below.

Regular code (written in PHP):

<?php
if (is_valid($cc_number)) {
execute_transaction($cc_number, $order);
} else {
show_failure();
}
?>

Pseudocode:

if credit card number is valid
execute transaction based on number and order
else
show a generic failure message
end if
