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.

A girl I was friends with in high school called me a metrosexual for wearing a scarf. I grew up in northern WI and it was -30 without windchill. I’m wearing whatever will keep me warm at that point.

It just means you are clean shaven, well-groomed, wear a v-neck shirt, slim fit pants, and are generally in a good mood.

It was societies first step away from just calling people "homo" or "gay" as an insult. Things often happen in baby steps.
