1938 O. Lancaster Pillar to Post 66 Pseudish. This style which attained great popularity both in this country and in America (where it was generally known as Spanish-colonial), is actually our old friend Pont Street Dutch with a few Stockholm trimmings and a more daring use of colour.

1945 Archit. Rev. 97 165/1 The Georgian Movement slid into Pseudish, but the ideal—of chaste simplicity—remained.

1975 Times Lit. Suppl. 28 Nov. 1429/2 This style, which surely earns Betjeman's label ‘pseudish’, should not deter the reader from discovering the validity..of some of the analysis and much of the historical appraisal.

1992 Times (Nexis) 15 Dec. Scorn and ridicule have always been the lot of the suburban semi. Even Osbert Lancaster, who wrote with waspish affection of styles such as Wimbledon Transitional, Bankers' Georgian and Pseudish, could only revile what he dubbed Bypass Variegated.

B. adj.

derogatory. Of, belonging to, or characteristic of a 'pseud'; intellectually or socially pretentious, insincerely affected.
