Pseudo-random

A set of numbers that seem random but actually aren't. They are predetermined by a computer algorithm that is explicitly designed to generate the most random of the random, if that makes any sense.

The problem with true random is that numbers will often repeat themselves, which to our usage is not ideal. Pseudo-random number generators fixes all that.

So ironically, the most random RNG is actually not at all random.

You'd use a pseudo-random number generator for dice

Pseudo-Douche

A genuinely decent person who plays the douche card to conceal their own inadaquacies or feelings. Usually tries to please everyone by making jokes that fall just short of the verge of edgy.

Broseph, I thought that dude Chad was a total dick, but he's just a pseudo-douche. He can come to the party tomorrow if he can handle his liquor.

Pseudo-trap

A male character in anime that looks like a girl, but is not intended by the writers to be a trap character.

This typically occurs when a male character is designed to be adrogenous with signature girl eyelashes. If you already know they are a guy, it can often be hard to tell how others thought they were a girl, but this is not always the case.

Dennis: “I can’t believe Kyousuke from Mieruko-chan was a pseudo-trap!”
Albert: “Yeah, he fooled me too, just like Miki from I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying!”

Pseudo-Genderblindness

A trait where someone is attracted exclusively to non-gendered non-physical traits like personality but still has a gender preference. Any sexuality or romantic orientation other than pansexuality and panromantic can have pseudo-genderblindness.

I am straight but I am only into people with a personality I like. I have pseudo-genderblindness.

Pseudo

An individual who, whether in reaction to having been an outcast in the past or just by the choice to be an overall disagreeable, opinionated individual who usually frequents coffee shops, don’t believe in drinking alcohol and “don’t watch TV” . This is a point of pretension for them, since what TV was and what it has become are vastly different things. The pseudo will sir at a coffee shop etc of preference on a limitless coffee tab and criticize everything except for the few things and people they like. They tend to carry a sense of entitlement and don’t respect rules of any place. If a pseudo is a musician or otherwise somehow involved in the arts, he/ she looks down on the art of others having universal appeal or potential for success.

A) My ex boyfriend’s pseudo friends jammed at his house religiously and if I was around, my every move was under the most critical scrutiny and I was always talked down to. B) The pseudos who ran and practically lived at my neighborhood coffee shop were constantly heckling me when I showed up to get my latte. They did not believe in doing anything but reading or pretending to read and gossiping with and about the other coffee shop regulars. The biggest pseudo announced that he doesn’t watch television . I asked him “What if PBS had an all day marathon of your favorite movies?” He said that would be no exception. Apparently pseudos do it not believe in clothes that match.
