fauxtention

"faux" + "attention": pretending to pay attention in class; an offensive tactic during lecture classes when you are using your laptop. Fauxtention involves giving knowing and "interested" nods to your professor to show you're paying attention. But what you're really doing is preempting any suspicion that you are surfing the internet as much as you really are.

Fauxtention earns brownie points.

fauxcetious

1) Insincerely treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; ironic flippancy.

2) Being facetious with a smug sense of irony.

It's meta.

Everybody thought Bob was being facetious when he said that he wanted to commit genocide, but he was actually being fauxcetious.

These chocolate-covered energy bars are delicious and make me feel like I'm making a healthy choice. They're fauxtritious.
