Piss Posturing
Piss Posturing = Personal Interest in Social Situations (PISS). Some people fake that they have a sincere personal interest towards one individual in front of others in a social situation. Imagine a CEO holding court at a work function dinner table asking questions of a new junior associate. In the case of Piss Posturing, BOTH the person showing the interest, and the person receiving the interest KNOW that the person showing the interest doesn't give a damn about the other person. It's purely a SHOW, a posturing, to show others how personable and humble the person showing the interest is.
The person being shown attention feels as if he/she is being PISSED ON, and both he and the other person know it. Down deep, despite smiles on the faces, the junior associate is thinking "You don't care about me, you're pissing all over me in front of these people and there's nothing I can do about it."

Example:
She's an annoying Piss Posturing socialite. She showed a lot of interest in me at the dinner table, but couldn't remember my name when we left the party.

panhandler posture
That special stance a panhandler takes on, whether destitute or not, in order to appear more pathetic.
Example:
He stood slumped and nearly lifeless at the stoplight with a sad sign in his two grubby hands, but later I saw him walking downtown with some friends, with no hint of the panhandler posture I’d seen earlier.

Moral posturing
Example:
Iam "It's not that I don't feel bad about the situation but... How do I put this delicately?"
Hym "It's the moral posturing. It's people who weren't involved proclaiming to the heaven how bad they feel about the situation. Using it to push their various agendas."
Iam "And if you know anything about me you should be able to see why we're averse to 'people who aren't involved in a situation pretending to care so they can force their beliefs down somebody's throat.' "
Hym "It's an affront to the people who actually care. And I've said this before. I'm repeating myself at this point. That was somebody's job. Not my job."
