词性：adj. n.  
音标：[ˈfoni]  
释义：假的，伪造的；骗子

Whether you’re talking about your attitude, a gigantic diamond, or that obnoxious guy’s claims that he knows everything about quantum physics, you can use _phony_ to say that something’s not real.

Use the adjective _phony_ to describe anything that’s fake. If you’re making phony money in the basement, you’ll be in trouble if you get caught using it. _Phony_ has a noun version with a similar meaning. If you say someone or something is a phony, then you’re saying it isn’t what it pretends to be. Someone who’s a phony isn’t sincere, like your classmate who pretended to be your best friend just to try to steal your boyfriend.
