fauxner 

An illusionary erection created when one sits down and their pants (usually jeans) bunch up at the crotch. This can happen to both males and females, and generally, the stiffer and baggier the jeans, the more impressive the fauxner. This word comes from the French word "faux," meaning fake.

"Dude, don't get near me with that thing."

"Oh don't worry, it's just a fauxner."

fauxpertise 

Fauxpertise is fake expertise that a person thinks they have or pretends to have. It comes from the assumption that because they are an expert in one area, they must be an expert in something else, when they clearly aren't.

Includes: fauxpertising, fauxpertised, fauxspert

Example:

For example, let's say someone you know really likes to play board games. We'll call him Ricky. He's as close to an expert board game player as you can imagine.

Another friend - Ruth - has an idea for a boardgame and she's been working to develop it and launch it for nearly a year. She's been thru over half a dozen major design revisions, has done direct market research, been to the major tradeshow for games, has over a thousand combined hours in game testing and has talked with a few distributors. She's personally invested over $100K in direct costs in creating her game. She's become extremely knowledgable.

Ruth has a refined V1 prototype and is working on getting it manufactured and distributed.

You, Ricky and Ruth are at a party. Ruth is talking about where she is in her startup. Ricky has just learned about her game, has never played it and does not have professional experience in the gaming industry - he likes to play boardgames and is very good at that.

After listening to Ruth talk about her progress for about 30 seconds Ricky states confidently "that's not a good idea - wholesale distributors won't carry women's games".

He knew a lot about water skiing which was a springboard for his fauxpertise in yacht manufacturing.

He fauxpertised his way through seven failed startups.

He thinks that if he yells louder nobody will realize he's a fauxspert.

That entire company is built on fauxpertising.

fauxvertime

Describes that co-worker who works obscene amounts of overtime, not for the necessity of actually getting his or her work done, but for the purpose of padding their paycheck and simultaneously avoiding their otherwise miserable home life.

"Wow, Stacey's work load must be really heavy right now, she has been here since zero dark thirty this morning!" "No, she's just working fauxvertime because she hates her life and is generally just a miserable person."
