Pretendult 

An individual with pretensions of adulthood and independence, who in actuality has their bills and lifestyle needs provided for primarily by their parent's resources. A person who cannot support their lifestyle on their own, but actively overlooks or minimizes the fact that their parents are providing for them, often through a long-distance monetary umbilical.

"I'm totally going to be making a trip out to Mexico soon, I'm gonna be living it large." -Unspoken is the detail that they are being taken by their parents as part of a family vacation.

-Any college student or beyond who has their rent paid by their parents, but ostentatiously complains about how 'tough' their situation is, as though they were the ones handling it.

-An average member of 'Generation Fail', who has been paid through college but failed utterly to be marginally independent, is often a pretendult.

pretendster 

A spurious personality registered on a social networking website: very often the individual is claiming to be someone famous, although sometimes the name assumed, and the asscociated character, are completely invented.

Associated terms: foaf; Friendster; fakester; troll; IP

"In this online age of fluid and epic identities, there are Friendsters and there are pretendsters ... This person, whoever they are, ain't no Friendster. She's a lower-cased anti-social butterfly-troll - effecting stagnation amidst the six degrees of separation. Upstanding internet users aren't ashamed to let others know exactly who they are: IP's ain't herpes! She is posing as the pop star, Chrissie Hynde, but I doubt the real Chrissie Hynde would be friends with someone who, it says in their profile, is an inspector for the guild of butchers. The real Chrissie Hynde is an outspoken vegetarian and even her band, called "The Pretenders", never stooped to actually pretending to be someone else. Did you know that Chrissie Hynde cuts her own hair?"
