Posted on 03.01.09 to Faux by Tristan Smith

Don’t fake the funk on a nasty dunk.

Moments away from a post about dissociative fugues, I swerved back towards the sunny side and remembered that my favorite part about faux is how good it is in wordplay.  By replacing anything that makes an ‘O’ sound, you can basically create a mildly clever term for any doppelgänger.

Let’s do a few:

Fauxmance: touchy flirting even though she has a boyfriend.

Fauxtown: white guys singing Marvin Gaye.

Aprofaux: something that’s fitting that never actually happened.

Fauxjob: getting touched over boxers.

Faux-truck: a car with a big mean hook on the front.

Fauxbot: cardboard and duct tape.

Faux-Magnon Man: fat guys with ironic beards.

Fauxnail: what grows back after you slam your hand in the door.

Fauxdo Baggins: the guys camped out in front of the theatre.

Not bad.  Commenters, top me.
