Temuous

Describes an item that seems to have been ordered cheaply online, bearing only a thin, insubstantial resemblance to what it tries to be. Often ill-fitting, wrong-sized, or mismatched.

Chandler: That tactical camo wallet you got online looks very temuous, and you should feel bad.

Joey: Not bad for $7.99 + shipping, though, right?

temious

Made up, fabricated. Something which sounds true but has no basis in fact or reality.

A casual lie, or rash claim easily proven to be false by a simple Google search. An ill informed claim might be said to be temious.
Etymology: From Latin temeritās (“chance, accident, rashness”) < temerē (“by chance, casually, rashly”).

His temious claims were believed by all but the more educated among us.

While his statement sounded rational and to the point, minor research proved them to be completely temious.

tenuous

Holding by a thread. Ghostly at best.

I was all over that babe. Made advances that were tenuous at best, what with not having even talked at a personal level.

Tenuous

A beautifully beaming and insightful person that's a ten on a scale of 1-9 but seems quite mentally fragile or struggling. When evaluating and placing a person as a "ten" on a general scale of beauty and intelligence but has past, maybe unresolved, issues. These are very wise, uplifting people to a fault.

Person2: I won't ever fully understand.. but I'm eager to help!
Person1: *deep breath* You're a tenuous. Thanks.
Person2: I'm glad we're friends!
Person2&1: *smiles*

His tenuous glow is blinding everyone of anyone's turmoil.
