    I agree with you. Hardly is the correct answer.

    I don't understand the first word of your post, leave me alone, or why you used it as the title of the thread.

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Did you mean that you have a "poser" for us - a question which is difficult to answer? It is unfortunate that "poseur" suggests an alternative definition which is a person (frequently a man) who thinks he is better than he is, who likes to show off by having expensive cars, expensive clothing etc but it's all done for show, not substance.
