"A friend’s young son (4 or 5) was asking her about “you know, the guys who like women, but they like to look good, too.” She very bravely took him up on it and explained that such men were called “metrosexuals.” He thought for a moment and then said, “So the guys who like guys… what are they? Hobosexuals?” She was driving at the time and is still amazed she didn’t run off the road from laughing so hard. Of course, the funny thing is, apparently there really are gay hobos who refer to themselves as “Hobosexuals.” Who knew?"
