    When what it is, is different from what it purports to be. Fake rubber is 100% what it is, but less than 100% rubber. Fake gold is as real as gold, but we differentiate it from gold because it looks like gold while its value and atomic structure is different.

    Most of Americans are fake and we need to have cheaper products to perpetuate the illusion of quality so that we may consume more of the earths natural commodities and sell them to the rich. We are slaves to an illusion of more dept and less quality of life and time with out loved ones. Fake leather tennis shoes go a long way in a young mans world.

    'fake' is a blanket term used for something that was made not completely out of what it is advertised to be, or contains none of said item.

    But technically, they are not fake. They are simply fake [insert advertised item here]s.
