"Foppish" might mean "fruity" (or, better, "characteristic of a formal, effeminate man") but it speaks only to the outward behavior of someone, not to their orientation. David Hyde Pierce in most of his roles (incl. Frasier's brother in Frasier) is foppish, but he's not a homosexual (and neither is Frasier's brother).

An attempted humorous pluralization of the word "penis". As with other words from Latin that end with "is", such as "crisis" and "neurosis", "penis" changes the "is" to "es", forming "penes", as "crisis" changes to "crises" and "neurosis" to "neuroses". Only urologists and a handful of other professionals use the word "penes", however, so it is best to stick to the English plural, "pensises".

noun: the quality that appears the possessor as dignity but appears to others as foolishness. Originated in a 2000 Saturday Night Live skit in which Al Gore and George W. Bush are playing Scrabble, and Bush attempts to add the word "dignitude." Gore challenges him to use it in a sentence, and Bush replies, "George W. Bush is a man of great dignitude."
