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.

I work with this guy who wears nuthugger jeans and talks with a total San Fran lisp, but apparently he's not actually a fag; he's just a fauxmosexual.
I totally thought

dyke because of her shaved
head and leather, but I met her boyfriend yesterday. Talk about textbook fauxmosexual.
