When someone fakely complains about something to draw attention to the very thing being complained about; false whining in an attempt to obtain 'clout' from peers.
Girl: Ugh, I have so much AP Bio, AP Stat, AP English, and AP Chem work. I hate being in such smart classes.
Boy: Will you please stop fauxplaining.
Girl: Bruh I am so addicted to nicotine I hate it.
Boy: You're just fauxplaining so people know you vape.

Fauxplause
When an already proper famous person drops the name of another legendary person for the sole purpose of inducing a moment of applause while being interviewed themselves.
“Joe McHollywood” on late night prefaces a story by stating, “...so I take the movie part, show up to the set, and the first person I meet is none other than Robert deNiro himself...(applause for mentioning deNiro)...and then I proceed to tell HIM to go get me a sandwich mistaking him for a commoner and not recognizing him through his makeup.”
The moment while a studio audience is applauding for the mention of an even bigger star is the fauxplause.

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
