Phony Tony

Slur directed at former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, on the grounds of his contrived media image and exposés on his misleading of the public, such as over the presence of WMDs in Iraq.

How will I explain to my children that we were led on by Phony Tony?

Speaker Phony

Someone who uses a speaker phone to feel like they’re important or doing some sort of important business even thought it’s for something stupid.

Mike hated talking to speaker phony customers. He couldn’t hear half the shit they said and, because they were only ordering pizza, he thought they could just pick up the phone instead of trying to shout at it from half way across the room.

“That guy was such a speaker phony. He called in to talk about his late fee and was 'too busy' to use the regular phone because he was playing x-box 360.”

Stupid Phony

Someone who places themselves on a superficial pedestal above other people. Then, in order to reassure themselves of their place, they call everyone else "phonies".

phony pony

A V6 Mustang made to look like a Mustang GT or a Cobra, a Mustang GT made to look like a Cobra!

I tried to go race that Mustang, but it turns out it's just a phony pony.

phony soldier

A person who claims military heroics or credentials, but either exaggerates his service or never served at all. Often supported by the anti-war left until caught. Most famously used by Rush Limbaugh during a 2007 radio show

Jesse MacBeth is the most famous phony soldier, who claimed he served in Iraq, but lasted only 44 days in basic training.

phony voice

Using a fake voice while talking on the phone. Not really a change in the voice as much as the manner in which you speak.

Talking to someone you are not close/comfortable with. Speaking slower, more clearly, using words and a tone that is very different than when talking to a good close friend.

Telemarketers voice. Talking to a relative you're not close to. How you would speak on a phone interview.

My stepmother called, I had to use my phony voice with her.
