Metrosexual is a neologism generally applied to heterosexual men with a strong concern for their appearance, or whose lifestyles display attributes stereotypically seen among gay men. Debate surrounds the term's use as a theoretical signifier of gender deconstruction and its associations with consumerism. The word was coined as a tongue-in-cheek play on "heterosexual".

  • A Metrosexual is the slang term for a person who is sexually excited by public transit. The dominant partner in a Metrosexual relationship is called the 'motorman' and the submissive partner the 'passenger'. Other Metrosexual slang terms include 'caboose', 'coupler', 'flange', and 'escalator'. Metrosexuals are blamed by model railroad fans for the hobby's transformation into a seething mass of sexual deviance and erotic rail fiction.
