Poseur

Someone that wants to look and sound the part without really being it.
The girl got a beanie with a crocheted visor to prove she didn't wear a beret and wasn't a snob, not because she actually delivered newspapers, magazines, phone books, or any other periodicals for work as a young boy/girl, a teenager, or even a 20 something, because she was a desperate poseur. She had actually always had more money than the people she was trying to make fun of, but wanted to look tougher because she thought she really was tougher.

Poseur

Someone that needs their peers to believe in them, and thinks that everyone else needs the same thing to keep going.
The poseur was a narcissist, she claimed to be different but deep down she saw her own image when she looked at everyone else, and thought that everyone else was the same way.

poseur

Somebody that changes their hair and eye color on a week to week basis so that they can keep acting tough all the time.
The poseur never kept the same look long enough for anybody to actually hold her to the same standards that males were held to, which was a double standard.

Poseur

Someone that says thank goodness even though they don't believe in goodness.
The poseur didn't believe there was anybody out there who wasn't trying to take advantage of any oppurtunity they could, or try and walk over anybody they could, or that if there was somebody like that, they were doing it for the same reason he/she was, to win or make himself/herself look good/popular (or even outcast if that made him/her popular with other people that had been rejected by others, anything to keep himself/herself from ending up alone). The poseur didn't really believe there was such a thing as goodness, but knew how to manipulate people through organizations such as religious organizations by speaking a language that he/she thought people wanted to hear (such as there are good people out there or the world can change it's heart). The poseur never once thought that the world might not want it's heart changed for it, that the world thought it's heart was good the way it was, the poseur never once thought that because the poseur didn't give a fuck what people thought about anything, but desperately cared what people thought of him/her (despite saying the opposite, that he/she cared about people but not what they thought).

Poseur

Someone that is not who they say they are.
The poseur called the skyline of the state capital their skyline, (as she wasn't originally from the state capital, and it really was their skyline, the people originally from the state capital) but convienently neglected to call the skyline of the state's largest city their skyline too, (as she wasn't originally from the state's largest city either, and it really was their skyline, the people originally from the state's largest city) instead calling it "our" skyline to make herself appear to be less of an outsider to locals she was trying to walk all over by benefitting from being seen as one of their own (though she was not, she wasn't who she said she was).

Poseur

Someone that goes the Joan Rivers route after trying the high route and every other route. Someone that made fun of something or someone, then turned into it.
The poseur always used to make fun of people that were different or not like him/her at school, next thing you know, he/she is claiming to be different/colorful/quirky in another town than the one he/she went to school in where hardly anybody from his/her town knows him/her well enough (from childhood) to notice this bullshit. Now he/she goes by a different name and image, one closer to an imitation of the people he/she once made fun of.
