fauxtesting
 n.— «“Fauxtesting” as it’s called is when someone shows up to a protest, usually one that is probably harsh or vulgar or takes on some serious issue (abortion, hatespeech, gender equality, etc), and attempts to make a funny situation out of it by holding up signs that either has nothing to do with the issue at hand, or just attempts to ridicule them.» —“Fauxtesting: ILLEGAL” by Scooter Hey Scooter June 9, 2007.
