A portmanteau of 'faux' (fake) and 'orgasm' — meaning a simulated or performed climax, usually during sex but also used humorously for over-the-top reactions to food, music, or anything else that triggers exaggerated pleasure. In the literal sense, it's a knowing, slightly snarky reference to the phenomenon immortalized in When Harry Met Sally. In its broader comedic usage, it describes that Instagram-worthy 'oh my god this pasta' face that influencers pull in restaurant videos.
She let out a full fauxgasm when she tasted the truffle mac and cheese — the whole restaurant turned to look.
