Answer 8

I became acquainted with this wonderful term some 13 or 14 years ago, when one of my sons was just getting fanatical about skateboarding.

He defined a 'poser' as just that--someone pretending to be what he or she is not; in his application, it referred to a skater wannabe.

We even took a picture of my husband standing on a skateboard near Love Park on a trip to Philadelphia, which we dubbed 'Poser of the Century.'

What I find interesting is its resemblance to the French word 'poseur,' which means essentially the same thing.  I wonder if that's where it came from?

Answer 10

1.one who pretends to be someone whose not.

2. who tries to fit in but with exaggeration

Any one who does not follow his/her own ideas of what he/she likes. Following no one set norm makes you real and following no one set norm makes you poser. Poser is governed not by the clothes, music, or makeup you wear, but rather by the state of your mind and the conformity to your own beliefs.

Posers conform to the beliefs of others.  A person who attempts to blend into a specific social group.

Justin was such a poser-goth; sure, he comes to school in all black, but he doesn't even know who Edgar Allen Poe is.
