What is Fauxmie?
1.
A contraction of the prefix, faux, and homie, the fauxmie is a kind of poseur. He may be a suburbanite claiming to be from the streets, a law-abiding b-boy repping a phantom hood, or simply a part-time pimp. The fauxmie takes many forms, all of them lame.
Fauxmie's run rampant any place where relative wealth and hip hop culture intermingle with strip malls and general white-bred mediocrity.
I first encountered this term in the Onion AV Club's "Least Essential Albums of 06" feature.
Orange County is the fauxmie nexus of the universe.
