metrosexual = gay without the bumsex
or possibly = gay coward

No,
Metrosexual = a man who's comfortable enough with his sexuality to endure the brickbats of others. A man who's not so insecure as to need to grow a massive sodding beard to throw people off the scent

I'm flattered that you consider insulting me to be worth so much effort

Oh, don't worry, it wasn't that much effort.

Plus my humour is still at the level where phrases such as "Colossal raving bumder" make me laugh.

suggests that I am in no position to lecture you on your maturity

Isn't that the point -
you sound gay without putting your arse at risk?

Edits- and morning all; are we having fun yet?

I'd just like to point out that I'm very manly in real life
But squealing about how excited you were at finding your Erasure necklace doesn't really project the same impression online.
