(Pronounced 'foe man)

Looks like a man, but is in fact just a boy. Plural form is 'fauxmen.'

There are many expressions of fauxmenism, including sneaking things that they could manfully take, whining like a child to get their way, and neglecting a real classy woman while salivating after a cheap girl who gives herself to anything and everything. A fauxman may leave his loving, fit and sexy wife wanting while pacifying his sexual appetite with thoughts of sexual encounters with saggy, loose narcissistic females that don't give a care.

Mom: she told me she's suffering from fauxmanitis, poor thing.

Sister: (looks quizzical)

Mom: you know... the inflammatory condition that comes from living with a "man" that chronically acts like a little boy. A faux man.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
