Definition of poser

posernoun

Poser

/ˈpəʊzə(r)//ˈpəʊzər/

The word "poser" originates from the verb "to pose," meaning to strike a particular attitude or appearance, often for artistic or photographic purposes. The term gained its current meaning in the late 19th century, referring to someone who affected a particular style or manner, often to impress others. This association with pretense and superficiality led to its use for someone who pretends to be something they're not, often for attention or admiration.
