One of the most overused words in the english language, especially by teens, and is probably one of the dumbest words as well. A poser is supposed to describe a person who pretends to be something they aren't and/or like something they don't. This word is too broadly used, and puts down people who want to try new things and want to get away from their past likings. I think it's a dumb word and the person who first used it should be punched in the family jewels.
idiot: Omg John is such a poser he wears Etnies and doesn't skate!!!
me: Why? because he likes their clothes?
idiot 2: Chris is a poser because he listens to punk but isn't really into punk
me: How do you think punk bands make money? from hardcore punks buying their CDs? They'd all go bankrupt in days if that was true, and punk music isn't just for a special group of people dumbass
correct person: Nicks a poser cause he

A computer program for creating 3D, humanoid models/animations. "Poser" should not be confused with "poseur", they are completely different words and if anyone tells you otherwise they are a poseur.
A poser is also "a question or problem that is puzzling or confusing".
Person A: So did you download Poser yet?
Person B: No way man, Poser sucks! I use 3ds Max.
Person A: Man wtf?! Are you some kind of poseur or something?
Person B: I don't know. That's quite a poser isn't it?
Person A: No! It's not! You're an idiot!

Lucy - "Yeah..."
But posers are often mistaked as actual goths by chavs (townies, scallies). But chavs are stupid and blind.

a word often used by people who are insecure about themselves so they call everyone but themselves and their so called "friends" "posers". in my area, it is mostly used by skater kids whose pants are way too tight to describe someone who wears skateboard shoes (etnies, dc, vans etc) but doesn't skate. by that logic, people who wear running shoes but don't run are "posers", people who wear nike basketball shoes but don't play basketball are "posers", people who wear adidas stan smiths but don't play tennis are "posers", the list goes on. the funny thing is, most of these people who call other people "posers" can't spell poseur correctly. yes, there are people who are, in fact, poseurs, but a lot of the people who get called "posers" don't deserve it.
Situation 1, poseur calls someone a "poser":
Bill: DO U SK8?!!?? UR WEARIN NIKE 6.0'S
Joe: That's none of your fucking business.
Bill: O MY GOD U R A FUKIN POSER!!!!!!!!!!!11111
Joe: Dude, by your logic, people who wear New Balance but don't run are "posers".
Bill: .......
Situation 2:
Mandy: OH EM EFF GEE I LUV MY NEW $80 ABERCROMBIE JEANS! I'M SO PREPPY LOL
Samantha: No, you're not a fucking prep, you're a fucking douchebag who has too much money and spends too much money on buying status symbols.
