fauxcade

when the front of a building (let's say usually an apartment complex or a house that is now a rental property) is designed to look imposing or grand when viewed head on, but when viewed critically the rest of the building doesn't live up to the first impression.

Sure, the place I thought about renting had a nice fauxcade with decorative window guards, brickwork, flashy cornices, and elaborate drainspouts, but the sides of the place were covered in cheap, cracked vinyl siding.

fauxladelphian 

One who nominally lives and/or works in Philadelphia, but c'mon, who do they think they are kidding. Often, but not always, used as a synonym for New Yorker.

Philadelphian: Hey, there's a great new restaurant in Old City. Want to go check it out?
Fauxladelphian: Where?

fauxcoder

Vocoder-esque effect on vocals you get when using Autotune with a fast response. Works better if the singer has almost perfect pitch as having bumpy pitch can make it modulate weirdly and just give the obvious message of "YOU CAN'T SING".
Kayne West is the notorious Daft Punk-esque fauxcoder expert.

Person 1: I got this awesome vocoder effect when I used pitch correction on my vocals.

Person 2: Can't you have just used a vocoder instead?

Person 1: Well, it's a fauxcoder then!

fauxcode 

Simple programming languages used to introduce new coders to common programming paradigms.

I don't want to write automated test cases in Java! I don't know Java! Let's write us some fauxcode! Groovy anyone?
