quote:
I stand corrected. Turns out the two words are synonymous.
Most dictionaries I checked-- about 15-- define 'poser' as 'a difficult or perplexing question.' Several others reference the French word 'poseur,' the implication being that 'poser' is a debased form or slang. A few define 'poser' as 'one who habitually pretends to be something he's not.' So the words are synonymous, but you are more right than he.
( Sorry for the diversion. I like words very much. )
