faux-clectic

A person that is trying to appear eclectic in their fashion, social, pop culture, musical or other choices, but in practice has simply adopted a common behavior that serves as an archetype or stereotype of a true eclectic. See as reference most hipsters.
That group of girls with their chokers and peasant skirts riding those bikes to the coffee shop are so faux-clectic.

faux posh

an embarrassingly tactless person who acts and speaks as though they are significantly more high-class than they really are.
"Simon speaks so eloquently and with such great articulation. He wears those weird shirts with elbow patches, too... He seems to be really posh."

"Simon? Posh? Ha! No... He grew up just as poor as we did. He just became faux posh when he got the gig on that YouTube channel."

Faux Operator

A Faux Operator embraces all of the appeaeances of a military spec ops dude, without ever having served. They wear: 511 pants, long beards, Oakley’s, and Hats with tear away Velcro flags. They can often be found in their normal haunts, at celebrity firearms classes. They often feel that the instructor’s past bio somehow is now part of their resume.
Hey bro, I just went over to thank that secret squirrel looking dude, with the new Sig MCX rifle, for his service. You know, the guy that was talking about Mogadishu all morning. He stuttered a bit, then told me, “he had shin splints in ROTC and he couldn’t enlist.” That dude’s not a SEAL, he’s a Faux Operator; I’m gonna steal his $700.00 Aimpount and piss in his canteen later.

faux-inverse

An inversion involving conflation.

Usually involves inverting the position of the structural (future-to-past) truth and the formalistic (past-to-future) truth; and then conflating the formalistic truth with the structural truth.

Ie. the formalistic truth becomes the structural truth.

The semantic.
A faux-inverse juxtaposes both inversion and conflation.

Faux Sleek

(Apologies, I spelt this wrong in the first submission)

Faux Sleek is where an object gives off the appearance of being capable of high quality performance, however this is just a visual appearance. The object's performance does not match it's design.
*A slender redesigned train arrives at the station in Brisbane

Person 1: Check out the shape of that train. I bet it moves super fast!
Person 2: Nah dude, that's faux sleek.
