Potemkin village
noun
an impressive facade or display that hides an undesirable fact or state; a false front
i'm not even sure this counts as a "word of the day" seeing as it is TWO words but we're running with it anyway... have you ever heard someone use this in a sentence? have you ever even (besides now of course) read this before? you can sound just as smarty-pants and possible less pretentious if you just stuck with the word facade instead.
