lego

Prefix meaning false, fake, counterfeit, unsatisfactory, disappointing, or insufficient. Similar to pseudo.

Derives its meaning from the stark and often disappointing contrast between real world things and their Lego™ play-set equivalents.

"Dude, I thought you said you bought a laptop."
"It's technically called a netbook -- it's smaller and more convenient than a full-size laptop, but it's still a laptop."
"Whatever man, that's a lego-laptop."
