Usually posers are fake & you can point one out super easy or at least I can... Anyways, if you're a skateboarder but you're trying to be Paris Hilton, you would be a poser.

Poser-
1. a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not [syn: poseur]
2. a person who poses for a photographer or painter or sculptor; "the president didn't have time to be a model so the artist worked from photos" [syn: model]
3. a particularly difficult or baffling question or problem
Basically when someone uses the term poser, its someone who is acting like someone/something he or she is not. They are trying to be something they aren't.
lilmegsoko answered Saturday July 7 2007, 8:57 am: posing is based off stereotype. look at the categories.
Prep, jock, thug, goth, emo, nerd.
A scenario would be. Someone that you KNOW would wear abercrombie is walking around in hot topic clothes, listening to music like HIM just so a certain crowd will accept them.
You see it more with teens that sag their pants to make people think they are a thug from the "hood" , when in reality they live in a million dollar house, with rich parents. [ lilmegsoko's advice column | Ask lilmegsoko A Question ]
