fauxjo

Derives from Mojo meaning hip, cool, sexy & soulful.

Fauxjo is something or someone trying to be cool & look like they have Mojo but failing. A bit like in 'Pretty Fly For A White Guy'.

Relic'd guitars are a good example. The ones where someone gets a new guitar & then puts loads of dents & scratches on it so it looks like they've been playing it for 40 years.

"Look at him with his fake vintage Guitar."
"Yeah, he's oozing fauxjo."

Or someone who goes out & buys a job lot of 60's Soul records & then pretends they're some sort of knowledgeable record collector who's been into the music for decades.

Or cars like the New Beetle or New Mini which look a bit like the old ones but have none of the character or Mojo, just Fauxjo.

fauxpocrisy

The act of preaching against something, admitting defeat, and then partaking in that thing. Tends to occur when individuals are upset at a societal norm that is too difficult to change, but not difficult enough to pretend to be better than.

That girl who said she didn't want a diamond engagement ring because they were part of an expensive corporate-fabricated tradition based on blood diamonds, committed fauxpocrisy when she ended up getting and showing off her diamond engagement ring.

Fauxlosophy

The imparting of make belief wisdom, spiritual advice and meaningless waffle, usually given by vacuous self absorbed 'influencers' via a social media platform. Generally accompanied by a bikini clad pose in some exotic location and/ or a generic borderline inspirational quote, borrowed from a slightly more creative part time yoga teacher/ uber driver/ photographer/ long boarder/ spiritualist. On occasion a real quote from a real philosopher may be used but often in the incorrect context.

“Life takes you to unexpected places, love brings you home”

Thankful for every moment I get to spend home. Even the quick trips like this make my heart smile. I appreciate every little moment with my family and friends and thankful for those truck rides down old country roads, loving from my horses and many days and night on this beautiful lake. Home is good for the soul✨ "

Correct response: "Shut up Amber with your fauxlosophy, you fucking nitwit"
Incorrect response: "aww babe you are so cute" followed by countless fire emojis

Greg: Stop being such a fauxhound John.
