Fauxsome

Regarding one's own behavior or oneself as "awesome" when in fact the behavior is misguided, or embarrassing, or one is really living a thinly-veiled life of mediocrity and fear.

The hipster was convinced that he was completely awesome, but those around him knew he was fauxsome, with no real ideas or action to back him up.

fauxsome

When something is deemed terribly and irrefutably wrong or unbecoming.

Rog bragged to everyone about how he was going to jump out of the plane, but he pissed his pants and chickened out at the last minute. He was so fauxsome.

fauxsme 

1. Someone who acts as an expert but clearly isn't.

2. Knowingly guessing at a response but speaking with conviction. A combination of Faux (fake) and SME (subject-matter-expert) (Pronunciation: \ˈfō-smē\). It can be used as an adjective or a verb.

You: "I wonder how long it took to build this roller coaster?"
Fauxsme: "I bet it took 40 guys at least 3 months to finish this off."
You: "Don't be a fauxsme, you clearly have no idea whatsoever."

Or

If I had to fauxsme this one, I'd bet it took 40 guys at least 4 months to finish this off.

Fauxnomenon 

A fake (faux) phenomenon, usually picked up on by the news-media, using bogus or highly unusual anecdotes to construct a false 'trend'.

Media outlets from the New York Times to Fox News absolutely love these, because they fill column space and news time, anyone can comment on them / write them and appear informed without actual research or investigative work, and they make for 'sexy' stories.

Common features of fauxnomenon stories include: Teens, sex, drugs, teens and sex, teens and drugs, teens and sex and drugs.

These types of fauxnomenon stories are often called 'moral panic' stories.

Mom: "Hey there honey, you haven't been going to Rainbow Parties, have you? It's where girls all get different colors of lipstick, and then they blow every boy at the party until their penises look like rainbows! I know kids are doing it these days because I saw it on Fox and CNN and Oprah, and I'm worried. They wouldn't put it on TV if it weren't true."

Daughter: "Mom, that's just a fauxnomenon! It's designed to play on your fear of teen sex and drum up ratings."

Mom: "Really?"

Daughter: "Yeah. That jenkem thing is totally legit, though."
