What is the correct spelling for the "word" "poseu"? Logically, I guess the poster meant "Stop (promoting loathsome ideas)!" But Google search gave little hints. Poseu - posar? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poseu

It is far fetched and not suitable at all.

​a person who behaves or dresses in a way that is intended to impress other people and is not sincere.)

Thanks for the link to the dictionary. In my variety of English we always use poseur, never poser. Perhaps that is because Canada is a bilingual country. I'd be interested to hear from other teachers whether poser is used in their varieties.

I'd take either poseur or poser. It makes sense either way.

A poseur is an imposter. A poser is a phony. From the casual and hostile tone of the the quote, poser seems more likely. It's more insulting than poseur.
