Metrosexual: A heterosexual (straight) man who dresses like a homosexual (gay) man.

Sawyer was insulting Boone's taste in clothes, basically.

I thought Metrosexual was a straight guy who had really great taste which is pretty much what ChicaFrom3 said but I don't think it's just clothes...

This wasn't ENTIRELY accurate in my opinion but I didn't know how to put it into words so I just wikipedia'd it and here is their opening line. There is a whole section on it though so you might want to look it up if you are actually interested. Here goes:

Quote:

Metrosexual is a term coined in 1994 (along with the noun, metrosexuality) by British journalist Mark Simpson, who used it to refer to an urban male of any sexual orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.
