"Notes:
This word combines pomo, shorthand for postmodern, with the suffix -sexual. Although she didn't invent the word, pomosexual was made famous (in certain circles, anyway) by editor Carol Queen who used it in the title of a 1997 anthology of essays, PoMoSexuals: Challenging Assumptions About Gender and Sexuality (Cleis Press). On the back cover of the book, PoMoSexual is described, unhelpfully, as the "erotic reality beyond the boundaries of gender, separatism, and essentialist notions of sexual orientation."

The Word Spy tracks the creation of new words, complete with citations.

A silly Orkut thread on alternatives to the word "metrosexual" (one guy proposed "fauxmosexual", I thought that rather clever) let on a linguistic browse.

Be sure to check out the latest additions like "chofa", "job spill" and "cankle".
