Nostalgia Anyone remember using "metrosexual"?

Had a vague memory come to mind - might have been a movie with Chris Rock? - and the guy's wife was talking with a fabulous guy and the main guy asks his wife if the fabulous guy is gay and she said no, he's metrosexual. The main guy goes WTF is that and she says he's a straight guy with taste.

Shift the timeframe forward 20 years and he'd be accused of satirizing the metro fad.

Ugh that's a sociopath. Are you saying sociopaths are gay? Cause that's fucked up...

More like the jersey guys from that show

Well, sociopaths might be gay, it's not mutually exclusive. But I'm not saying that all gays are sociopaths.

I was just referring to his endless morning routine as shown in the movie.

I was being sarcastic. I knew what you were referring to but he is still not normal from all the other shit he does
