Can I get a definition on metrosexual?
Metrosexual is a word describing men who have a strong concern for their
aesthetic appearance, and spend a substantial amount of time and money on their images and
lifestyles. Though the term has undergone a transformation from its original meaning (a heterosexual man who appeared or acted as if he were homosexual or bisexual), current trends have seen the metrosexual label placed upon male embracing of practices usually perceived to be feminine, rather than those specifically associated with stereotypically effeminate homosexuals.
Origin? The origin of the term traces to an article titled "Here come the mirror men," dissecting the new urbane man by
Mark Simpson, published on
November 15,
1994 in
The Independent, a major British daily newspaper.
Could you use it in a sentence? Carrie Underwoods' about as country as the metrosexual wannabe cowboys singing to teenyboppers.
Are there any other pronuciations? No
