Example:
There was a girl that I went all through high school with in my classes. She had the fakest British accent and she had an obsession with Japan. I don't just mean she obsessed over maybe going to Japan, she would come to school in a Kimono sometimes! Most of the time she would just bring books and manga (in Japanese) and would pretend she was translating it. She also used to bow to every teacher before she would sit at her desk. I should mention she was white not Japanese.
One day I busted her ass. My grandpa lived in Japan and I could read Japanese. So in choir class we had to perform a solo in front of the class. I thought it would be less embarrassing if I performed a song in Japanese, that way the other kids wouldn't know I was screwing it up. This girl found out and wanted to perform with me. I said OK but I don't have the music with me today I would bring it tomorrow. Continued ---->
We didn't have time for practice the song; it was to be performed the next day. And this girl had been bothering me all week to perform that song with me, so the only way to shut her up was to just do it and get it over with.
So the next day we were going to perform that song for the class. I gave the girl a copy of the song. Only thing is it was all in Japanese, I hadn't translated a word of it. Mind it was a children's song and the Japanese was very very basic. We weren't going to translate it into English, we were going to sing it in Japanese. She knew this ahead of time. So when it came time to sing we both stood in fornt the class with the sheet music. And when the song started she threw her sheet music to the floor and ran out of the room. To sum it up; she couldn't read a word of Japanese.
Edit: While I can read Japanese I am not claiming I can speak it. It's like English speakers reading Spanish you can read it but you can't understand a word of it.
Yeah. There's Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. I'm assuming there's no kanji (complicated symbols, about 200 of them) and it was just the Hiragana (about 45 of them, easy to read since they have consistent sounds) and I can read Hiragana and Katakana (the foreign version of Hiragana, used to say things like TV and Pizza) and as I said, Hiragana is the easiest so she was the most fake faker there ever was.
As I leave my office towards my car... I still fantasize of going "FLAME ON!" and just flying away. I honestly think I'll have that fantasy forever. The whole... DBZing someone I don't like? Long gone.

I didn't realise it was a real thing
