John Boy: Hey Tim, the dude in all black is trying to snipe me in the tower with a Dragonov.
Tim: Oh shit, is he a legit player?
John Boy: Nah I just killed him earlier, he is a Phony Tryhard.
(plural noun) the people tazing you in the butthole
Two Hollywood phonies try to give me their autograph
Ground!
Nobody wants your autograph, phonies!
Then the two phonies got up
Turned out they had a taser
And they tased me in the butt-hole
Fell to the ground
The phonies didn't let up
Tasin' on my butthole over and over
I was screamin' and squirmin'
My butt-hole was on fire
The moral of the story is
You can't trust the system
Everyone has a phony family member that always thinks they are on reality TV (which is the worst name for the kind of TV programming that it describes, as even TV shows and movies are closer to reality than reality TV, even if it's unscripted it's full of fake people and there is nothing to make up for or redeem it from that). The kind of family member that always laughs at everything and everyone, thinks of everything and everyone as hilarious, you always see a family member like that on instagram or one of those other sites with another video of them doing something that wasn't even interesting when they were a kid doing it (such as them with a hula hoop, big fuckin deal) but they think it makes them the most colorful and interesting person in the world (something they must have got from their mother telling them the home videos of them as a kid were awesome when nobody else would tell them that if they ever watched them).
Favorite insult of "Catcher in the Rye" protagonist Holden Caulfield. Source of great anger to anyone who subjects themselves to Mr. Caulfield's rambling, circuitous narration.
This insert thing I don't like here is such a phony!
