One of the sales goons I'm tasked with doing support work for just asked me, in all seriousness, what "authentic" means.

You know, there is a discussion to be had around what "authentic" means...but I'm imagining you mean they simply didn't know what the definition of the word was.

You give them an authentically sarcastic reply?

Nah. Just explained it. Then changed my IM status to a link to the Random House Dictionary definition. And my nameplate title to said definition. Including attribution, 'cause I'm a completist.
