fauxmo

1. A pre-meditated state of false gayness, aimed at soliciting attention or affection from the opposite sex. See: Girls Gone Wild; Tom Cruise.

2. False diagnosis of male gayness; develops after lingering too long in a friendship-only relationship with a woman you secretly like. Comic hilarity usually ensues. See: Any movie starring Matthew Perry.

Fauxmo's are the new snags.

Gerald's smart outfits and love of design made me think he was gay, but he's dating my friend Kelly so I think he's a fauxmo.
