Gettin’ Awwl Faux’d Up

Faux is a relative term.  It is a term that requires a genuine entity.  It needs context.  This begs the question: If something is the faux version of the original entity, can there be a faux version of the faux entity?  I attempted to prove that there are in fact faux-fauxs.

Are faux-fauxs a no-no?  Does it matter? Am I being douche by asking these questions?  The answers to those questions are:  I don’t know, probably and yes, respectively.

Here is my meditation on this concept of faux-faux.  If you have any others, please feel free to comment and add along.

Original entity: The American Flag
Faux entity: The American Flag bumper sticker on the back of a truck
Faux-Faux entity: A wolf howling through a dreamcatcher with an American Flag in the background airbrushed onto the back of a truck

Original entity: Racism
Faux entity: Sexism
Faux-Faux entity: Sexy Racism or Racy Sexism

Original entity: An Apple
Faux entity: A Caramel Apple
Faux-Faux entity: A green Flintstone vitamin

Original entity: Now That’s What I Call Music
