gaydar

      Explicit

Gayar (a portmanteau of gay and radar) is the intuitive ability to determine whether another person is gay (homosexual), or straight (heterosexual). The function of "gaydar" relies on non-verbal sensory information and intuitions. These include the sensitivity to social behavior and mannerisms: for example; a sensitivity to flamboyant or overt rejection of traditional gender roles (including occupation and grooming habits).
