Yep...Fop became a pejorative term for a foolish man over-concerned with his appearance and clothes in 17th century England. Some of the very many similar alternative terms are: "coxcomb," fribble, "popinjay" (meaning "parrot"), fashion-monger, and "ninny." "Macaroni" was another term, of the 18th century, more specifically concerned with fashion.

A modern day fop may also be a reference to a foolish person who is overly concerned about their clothing and incapable of divulging in intellectual conversations, activites or thoughts.

Well I have heard the word used about how people are dressed, but not sure what it means

On the Medical note I know that FOP is a genetic disease that causes the connective tissue to gradually turn to bone.

As long as it was a seersucker, that's perfectly acceptable. Otherwise....

I don't think so.

al.com had an article about how he forgot his dress shoes and ended up having to wear flip flops instead...rest of the guys were busting his balls for it.
