fauxthenticity

The conscientious, studied, and contrived attempt to appear authentic, graceful, and natural.

Clementine was full of fauxthenticity the other day, after hitting Urban Outfitters and American Apparel in one afternoon -- it costs a lot of money to look so poor!

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.

fauthentic

the quality of something or somebody made to falsely appear as if it/they were genuine, real, authentic.

Epcot and Paris-Las Vegas are big examples, but a coffee table that has been 'aged' is fauthentic, too.
