Originating from South East Asia, the term was originally used as an antithesis to describe a person/friend who wasn't "Genuine".
ie) Someone who merely acts like a friend but has a constant hidden agenda. A friend who is ungenuine would likely not keep in touch over a period of time only to hit you up out of the blue because it turns out they actually need something from you.
Ungenuine can also be used to describe someone who treats women with disrespect, fools around with multiple women in a given sitting at a given location (usually an aggressive type), untrustworthy, is overly sensitive about jokes, and is otherwise not a person who the rest of the group is fond of.

Get the Ungenuine mug.not yet an actual word. incorrectly used when trying to describe something that is the opposite of "genuine." usually confused with "Ingenuous" which means "gullible" and "ingenuity" which means "inventive originality". it is best to use the word "DISINGENUOUS" when you are vying for the antonym of "genuine".
Ingenuine is not a word.

Get the ingenuine mug.Related Words
Meaning: adj. Not genuine; false; not authentic. Normally associated with persons, behaviours and experiences rather than items.
Etymology: Contrary to popular belief (google the term for examples), this is in fact a word, and can be cited as far back as the 17th Century:
1675 R. Burthogge Cavsa Dei 352 'A many false, supposititious, and ingenuine' Writings.
Source: Oxford English Dictionary online.
The word can be made by attaching the prefix in- (a variant of un-) to the existing word 'genuine', in parallel to in- + sincere, in- + compatible, in- + valid and so on.
Although it may often be confused with 'ingenuous', this is a simple malapropism and does not affect the validity of the word.
