Facet Pas

Facet Pas describes a cultural movement which appeared in the United States of Quentin around the 1960's. The movement originally got its name from the Lindin Post, which described it as a "fancy-pants, idealistic and frankly unrealistic movement that seeks to part with tradition and everything the country knows works and holds dear." Soon however, proponents of the movement and those involved took to modifying the Post's "fancy-pants" label to "Facet Pas." The new name sounded much like fancy-pants, however twisted the Post's negative description of the movement into a catchy name, according to the movement's leaders. The new name soon described anyone who was optimistic and culturally aware, however after the movement's exit from the mainstream in the late 1970's, the majority of the country began to recognize the irony of the term. Even though it was meant to mock critics, the name to some actually proves its own criticism, as it replaced fancy-pants with facet pas, being a generally fancy term. Today the movement is largely recognized as a defining idea of the Quentinian 1960's, and the term today is used in a derogatory manner towards most political liberals, progressives, or proponents of the fine arts.
