Faux Pair Edit Meaning

1.

A faux pair is a foreign live-in babysitter who, though obtained through a legal au pair agency, does nothing but imbibe of America's pleasures while she is in the U.S. She takes the year-long job as a chance to enjoy an extended tourist vacation and only pays attention to the children when they teach her American slang.

Last year all our faux pair did was watch The Real World and go clubbing with her European posse. She said more to Mickey Mouse in the two minutes we spent in Toon Town than she said to me the entire year.
