What is this word I’m suddenly hearing tossed around, “retrosexual”?
I just noticed it a not too long ago on some link to an article about Vince Vaughan, but didn’t think much of it until I saw another such link to an article about Russell Crowe.
So, ever the investigative journalist, I googled it. And here’s what I found.
Wordspy defines the term:
retrosexual (ret.roh.SEK.shoo.ul) n. A man with an undeveloped aesthetic sense who spends as little time and money as possible on his appearance and lifestyle. Also: retro-sexual.
—retrosexuality n.
If you feel inclined to scroll further down, you’ll see that a certain Mark Simpson is credited with coining the phrase, “metrosexual,” which started this hullaballoo in the first place.
Geez Louise, us Americans sure love a good label. To be fair, though, I’m just as guilty of this, having had recently branded my boyfriend a “nerd lover,” an accusation justified by the very existence of our relationship.
Ponder that, my pretties.
