pomo

Portmanteau of the words "poser" (Brit, Austral & NZ informal a person who likes to be seen in trendy clothes in fashionable places) and "homo" (Used as a disparaging term for a gay man or lesbian.)
The pomo is characterized by the propensity to proclaim oneself as a homosexual for the express purpose of procuring sexual favor from people of the opposite sex. The pomo preys on artistic college females using their trendy, sensitive pomosexual wiles.
Damn it. "Gay Sean" the frigging pomo is tapping Kelly the hot art major's ass once again... FML.

post modern: being wierd for the sake of being wierd
this chair is po-mo

Comment submitted with request to delete: The meaning of being "wierd" trying to be extra wierd is
hopelessly vague. It does not suit the original meanings
of this new term that are already well current in loose
modern English. The term as given in disputed usage would
be a hypernym of a word{can't think of one current} such
as "Ultra" in special use in French politics after restor-
ation of Monarchy, early 18th century. It is a little too
hyper, in my opinion.
