fauxment 

A fake comment on a Facebook status or picture. The comment is typed, then a screenshot is taken before the comment is submitted.

A fauxment is never actually submitted, and is typically a release of anger towards a person or an off-color remark that could be seen as offensive by others.
The other day, John posted the stupidest status about how much he loves Suzy, even though he's a closeted homosexual who has sex with me behind her back. I made a fauxment that said, "Oh yeah?! If you love Suzy so much how come last night you told her you were sick and then came to my place and fucked me senseless?"

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
