Cuddy’s idea of “Fake it till you become it” is a tool that works well with Gee’s idea of “Muskfake”. A “Mushfake Discourse” means partial acquisition coupled with meta-knowledge to “make do”(13). If you are not confident with a certain topic use the term “Fake it till you become it” and push until you are. As Cuddy states “You’re going to do it and do it and do it, even if you are terrified and just having an out-of-body experience, until you have this moment where you say ‘oh my gosh, I am doing it, I have become this’ 16:54. Use your Mushfake discourse and make do, make do till you can become it.
