An activity that involves being packed up by your city slicker friends and towed 4 hours away to an place almost as urban as the one you just left to spend the weekend in a "cabin" that is nicer than your own house. There you spend 2 days watching your city slicker friends occupy themselves with the hot-tub (what is so fun about sitting in hot water?), going to local wineries (ick), and fussing over there 4 small dogs who hate the outdoors and shake as if they having a seizure whenever they must venture outside the "cabin".
Boy, I sure am glad I had that extra $150 to drop on listening to you and your dogs whine every time there is a bug withing 35 feet. I LOVE FAUX CAMPING...not.

Misquotes Marx on a regular basis. Is totally lacking in the ability to see the irony in his/her politics.
I am so sick of the wannabeprotester, faux-cialist kids in my anthro class, I could scream.
An overly pretentious, historically inaccurate suburban tract house that co-opts 17c Provencal (French) architectural detailing in order to project an "old world" image and, ostensibly, the cachet and wealth that comes with such an image. Usually fails miserably when two or more houses are placed within 5 feet of one another, often being incompatible styles altogether.
"Wow, that turret next to the 4-car garage really adds curb appeal to your faux chateau, monsieur!" /sarc
