one who purports to know more than he/she actually does. a false intellectual. fintos tend to be hipsters, scenesters and or college students studying post modernism or “po-mo” for short. they enjoy talking about “underground” indie bands as well. they also tend to cling to geek-chic with thick rimmed gl-sses so as to appear more intellectual.
“wow. look at that chick. with her book on post femininism, her deck clothes, and horn-rimmed gl-sses. she looks like such a finto.”
“that’s singer songwriter lisa loeb”
“oh. that’s deck i guess”
