Faux (French term for fake) + Faux Pas (A violation of accepted social norms) + Pause = Faux Pauz
Fake Pause? Open to your interpretation, naturally.
Among others, some interpretations of Faux Pauz include:
1. A fake pause, meaning your life still goes on while you hang around/pause.
2. Work is never-ending, thus a faux pauz (or a fake pause) in life would assist one in unwinding and savouring the little things.
3. Faux Pauz militates against the convention that life is a rat race. Life is more than that.
Live on the edge, militate against norms, live your life faux pauz style.

Most are either female and/or college fraternity members. Faux Sox can be easily spotted by their pristine, unbent, perfectly clean Red Sox caps that they pretentiously wear. The male species normally have goattees (as do some of the females).
