Feignthusiasm: /fayn thoo zee azim/ Fay found it hard to get excited about the nose bidet fad. She showed feignthusiasm when all her friends tried it and swore it was the greatest new thing since sliced bread. She thought this new fad was icky. In reality, it was an ancient method used in bygone cultures to rinse out the nose. It was inevitable that this fad would return. In fact, it was predicted to return now by none other than the Great Nostrildamus. Etymology: Feign (make believe with the intent to deceive;make a pretence of) & Enthusiasm (a lively interest;eagerness;exuberance;a feeling of excitement) Created by: Nosila.

Fauxnaticism: /foh-NAT-uh-siz-um/ ‘I don’t think I like wearing these orange robes,’ Donald reflected, as he chanted “Hare Krishna” along with his two new friends at the airport, ‘and baldness doesn’t really suit me either.’ But as a passerby dropped a coin into his bowl, his friends both gave him encouraging smiles, and in his fauxnaticism, all his doubts were quickly forgotten.
