Frontin'
의미: Pretending to be something you're not. Putting on a false front. Being fake or inauthentic.
Frontin' means presenting a false image to impress others. Someone who's frontin' might pretend to have more money, act tougher than they are, or fake knowledge they don't have. In AAVE, authenticity is highly valued, so calling someone out for frontin' is a serious accusation.
