Don’t front

Have you ever pretended to be something you’re not? If so, you’ll relate to today’s Catchword episode. Join Andrew and Maura as they introduce and explain three expressions that are used to describe people and things that are inauthentic or fake. Andrew: How about we move on to our third and final expression for today’s episode. Maura: All right. What is it? Andrew: Drum roll, please. It’s a sham. Maura: Right, a sham is a person who pretends to be something that they’re not. So just like to front, or if you call someone a poseur, it’s really the same explanation. You’re talking about a person that is not being authentic, that is pretending to be something that is not really them.
