The process of heterosexual people acting homosexual for some reason or another. Potentially as part of a game of gay chicken.

a person who pretends or falsely represents him/herself as a homosexual to either:
a) gain attention from the opposite sex
b) make money and short fame
c) take advantage of those who are homosexual

Someone who gives every appearance of being homosexual, but is in fact heterosexual. A fauxmosexual male may display metrosexual attention to hygiene, style, and culture, have an effeminate speech pattern or display effeminate behavoir in gesticulation and mannerism, and/or give the basic impression of being gay. A faumosexual female may be fairly butch in appearance and style, display a militant feminist ("feminazi") attitude toward men, or show strong proclivities toward Lilith Fair or other female empowerment. These are the people you "just know" are gay, but who seem to show proof to the contrary.

A man who acts gay just to pick up chicks. Typically this is a last resort.

camping it up to appeal to the gay audience; faking homosexuality

1. n - a straight man/boy, who puts on the affectation of gayness to get attention and affection from gay boys, with the underhanded goal of attracting girls. While this may include some of the elements of metrosexuality, such as fashion, and pampering, it is more concerned with mannerisms, and body language, and tastes associated with, and directed toward, gay men.
