What is a "phony"? A phony is similar to a poser, because they're people who try to be something that they are indefinitely not, I remember this one girl, that tried her hardest to be "cool", and slutty, and all she did was loose my friendship, because she couldn't be herself. The sad thing is, I wasn't man enought to tell her that she was being a "phony" or "poser" and I feel I've failed her. It's sad because she still goes around doing this, she's making a fool of herself. And that is what I think Holden is saying, that "phonies" aren't accomplishing anything, that they're only making a fool of themselves.
