Think you’re grown, try to act like you’re grown, but couldn’t rely on just yourself if your life depended on it.
My adult child is a fauxdult because he can’t do anything on his own. He might earn a paycheck but has zero budgeting or bill paying experience, so is broke before the weekend is up (when getting a check every Friday).

A combination of the words "faux" and "adult." Someone who has reached adulthood in terms of age, but still exhibits traits associated with youth or immaturity.

E.g. A 25 year old who has a job and lives independently, yet brings laundry whenever they visit their parents and doesn't maintain a regular sleep schedule due to late-night video game addiction.
"I realized I was a fauxdult when I had my own apartment, but only drank out of red plastic cups."

Fauxdultress 

A fauxdultress is a female, usually young, who will pretend to have a boyfriend in an attempt to add mystique to her persona and to lure young men who are enticed by stealing a taken woman. Her native habitat is a bar, usually a small one where the drinks are cheap and men are plenty. She will find any way to meet guys. Most likely though, the fauxdultress will turn to her closest friends. A fauxdultress never fails to get some kind of being with a pulse in her bed.
Look at that girl in the corner with the floral print, tight-fitting dress and black pumps staring down all the business school students with receding hairlines. She is such a fauxdultress.
