The image of the dead man being pulled out of the rubble turned out to be a fauxto; a photograph dated ten minutes later showed him walking about.

Jun 4 Word of the Day
The phenomenon of having to come out as bisexual to the same person/people repeatedly because they assumed or hoped that your sexuality was a "phase." Refers less to the holiday and more to the 1993 Bill Murray comedy film in which the main character experiences the same day over and over.
"My visit home turned into Bisexual Groundhog Day. My mom acted shocked when I told her I'm going to Pride next week, so I had to come out to her as bisexual AGAIN."

Picture of the digital variety taken and modified by Photoshop or other method to increase it's shock and propaganda value. Used especially well by contributors to the NYTimes, Reuters and other left wing newspapers who have a diffiult time fact checking. That is, unless it is a subject that could damage the United States.
In recent weeks, bloggers such as Michelle Malkin, LGF and others have debunked numerous fauxtos taken in Lebanon. Especially amusing was the altered smoke pic that a 4th grader could have altered more convincingly.

A faux to is a video that is shown as a "how to" video but in reality is someone just bragging.

Let's say there was a video on Youtube, and it was about Call of Duty. The title of the video might be "How to get a 47 knife kill streak" but in reality has no educational value and you can't ACTUALLY learn how to get that kill streak but instead is someone just saying how good they are at the game.
A: Yo look at this video called "How to get a 47 knife kill streak"

B: That's cool. But it's a faux to.

A: What's that mean?

B: Did you ACTUALLY get a "how to" lesson or was the creator bragging about their mad cod skillz?

A: No..

B: See? Faux to.
