Tom Cruising

A verb used to describe a situation when a homosexual male, who also happens to be "in the closet", begins going out with a girl in order to attempt to prove that he is not a homosexual. Usually, when a man is Tom Cruising, everyone already knows that he's gay, except for him.

The origin of the term comes from Tom Cruise, who was criticized about his sexuality and soon afterward married Katie Holmes. Many people still believed he was homosexual though, and the phrase was born.

Tom Cruisin'

To be upset or harboring obsessive feelings of jealousy based solely upon speculative information regarding your partners activities, derived from the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" in which Tom Cruise's character slowly goes insane because of a comment his wife made about a sailor she did not sleep with, but thought about sexually. This behavior can be either temporary or chronic, and can involve repeatedly visualizing your partner with other people, spying on your partner, confronting your partner with your "evidence," looking through your partners private domains, becoming obsessed with your partners activities, calling or texting your partner regularly to make sure he or she isn't with anybody, becoming suspicious of other people in your partners life, and becoming possessive and untrusting of your partner.
