  Faux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faux (IPA: [fəʊ]) is a French word for fake.
However, the reverse, i.e., intentionally making them look "faux", is also known, for instance with some faux furs, where it is anticipated that prospective buyers want their fur to be recognizable as faux fur, due to controversy over the use and manufacture of real animal furs.
Faux materials are produced in a variety of ways, for example faux marble (such as Terrazzo and Scagliola) is generally made with marble dust in a plaster binder, yielding a hard material that will take a polish.

What she did, my mother, with that chateau of hers, is simply unimaginable, still all for the sake of the elder son, the child of fifty incapable of earning any money.
But she made a mistake with the infra-red rays, and none of the chicks can eat, all six hundred of them have beaks that don't meet or won't close, they all starve to death and she gives up.

 Faux chateau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term faux chateau satirically refers to the adaptation of an idyllic French château into a typical suburban family home that is characterized primarily by its misuse of architectural concepts and incorrect detailing and/or proportioning.
This type of residence is often referred to as having "old-world" styling or "provençal" inspiration, in an attempt at foreign branding.
"Faux Chateau" is often used interchangeably with "McMansion".

 Urban Dictionary: faux hawk
A mohawk, but instead of a "real" mohawk where you shave the sides of your head, you just glue up the middle part of your regular hair so that it is in the style of the mohawk.
A toned-down version of the famous mohawk haircut, in which the sides of the head are shaved and a central strip of hair is made to stand up.
The faux hawk resembles the mohawk when styled but can also, if desired, appear to be a conventional male haircut.

Faux finishes, antiqued patinas, crackled leather, and French-influenced designs have all helped wallcoverings recapture some of the market share lost to paint.

The faux Chateau-meets-hopkiln pile known as Chateau Souverain, just north of Geyserville in the Alexander Valley (page 200), changed hands in February 2006.
Coppola only bought the Chateau Souverain property, not the label or its vineyards, so the Chateau Souverain wine will live on and be made at a newly-refurbished wine-making facility at the historic Asti Winery just a few miles north, also owned by parent company Fosters.
Until a tasting room is built at the Asti winery, however, the only place to taste the Souverain wines (which are pretty good for the price) is at the Cellar 360 tasting room on the south side of Healdsburg's plaza.
