Pseudo-Engineer 

Sarcastic title, proudly used by those with Engineering degrees, when others without the degree, claim to be Engineers.

A supervisor introducing the working team to a new member:
"Even though he’s the only one with a real Engineering degree, Jack calls himself a Pseudo-Engineer because others here in the company claim to be Software Engineers but their degrees are from everything from Political Science to Accounting."

Pseudo-Engineer 

1: A person without an Engineering Degree who claims being an Engineer simply because they work in Engineering tasks.

2: A person who hasn’t gone through the rigors of Engineering School, yet pretends to be an Engineer.

Guy 1: "Yeah, I'm an Engineer."
Guy 2: "Oh cool! My brother's an Engineer. What's your degree on?"
Guy 1: "Well, it's in Graphic Design, but I have a Java certification and write software for a living."
Guy 2: Snickers and thinks to himself "Perfect...another Pseudo-Engineer."

Pseudo Celebrity 

A pseudo celebrity is someone who has become famous without having done anything to deserve it, they are the wasters, the drones and parasites of humanity. Having achieved nothing worthwhile, they are best described as the liggers and Kim Kardashians of this world, the braindead youtubers, talentless and lacking any sort of distinction. They are the self-centred and egotistical nonentities for whom princess syndrome is a way of life. The only reason they are celebrities is because they have more egotisticalbullshit than normal people, they are pseuds, thus pseudo celebrities.

Is the rise of the pseudo celebrity a sign that the human race has gone to rat shit?

Pseudo-incest 

Sex with someone with a familial relationship, but no blood relationship. Sometimes treated as incest in the law, but not as much of a taboo subject in common society.

"Dude, she's not my mom! She just married my father."
"So that's pseudo-incest. Still illegal in this state."

pseudo-patriot 

Conservatives who's loyalty to America and democratic institutions are less than their loyalty to their ethnicity (in support of White nationalism) and political affiliation (ends-justify-the-means support of the Republican party).

For example, supporting or ignoring a foreign adversary's attack/intervention into the election process. Dismissing a free press and their duty to hold politicians accountable if it hurts short term conservative interests by asserting false accusations of fake news and by deflecting attention toward unfounded conspiracy theories.

The pseudo-patriot Trump supporter accuses Obama of bowing to the Saudis, but completely rationalize Trump's bow. He completely lacks any principles when confronted with facts about Trump's connections with Russia. He justifies Russia's manipulation of the American election system. But he wants to ban flag-burning.
