A fake cough let out when one is told to be completely silent.
Teacher: I'm going to go copy a couple of papers if i hear one sound you're all getting written up.
student 1: *cough* *cough*
student 2: stop with the test coughs I don't wanna be written up
The act put up when one doesn't get enough sleep or wants others to think that they didn't get enough sleep, often used in early mornings at the office or in school.
jack: yo I'm so tired.
John: oh my god, i didn't fall asleep till 4am
Anotonio: stop with the tired charade i've heard this every morning for the past month
