fauxnouns

pronounced 'fo-nouns,' like pronouns

Usually, in social media bios, when people you have not come out to follow you and believe you identify as cisgender (or anything else on the gender spectrum). They are your fake pronouns, i.e. faux/fake (pro)nouns.

added bonus: it rhymes with pronouns :)
Person: wait doesn't Sam go by they/them pronouns?
You: yes they do!
Person: then why on their Instagram does it say she/her?
You: oh dude those are their fauxnouns
Persons: Oh I see
