Some of us are ignorant when it comes to the lingo (or maybe I'm the only one) so please define "fop". Should we assume the traditional meaning (persnickety, prissy, metrosexual type) or is it an acronym?

please define "fop".

I found this at: http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2000/01/24.html

Word of the Day for Monday January 24, 2000 fop \FOP\, noun: A man who is much concerned with his dress and appearance; a dandy.
---------------------------
Fop comes from Middle English fop, foppe, a fool.
