straight cred

Some shit that a straight man flashes when he's hanging with bro's and begins to suspect that the bro's suspect he's gay. He will then proceed to make a comment--usually of a lewd sexual nature--about a woman to publicly confirm his straightness to the other bro's and assuage fears that he wants their body.

Male Cashier: "Man, that's a real nice scarf. I've never seen anyone match their scarf to their sweatshirt so well."

*awkward pause*

Bro: "Um.. thanks.."

*hot girl walks by*

Male Cashier: "Oh hey look, the college girls are back in town. Looks like some fine ass scenery!"

--

The Male Cashier realized that he sounded a bit too interested in the bro's fashion choice. He brought out his straight cred to fix this critical error.

Tony: Yeah, that's their straight cred.

EXAMPLE 2:
Dax begrudgingly brought his girlfriend with him to the lake as straight cred. He knew what a bunch of dudes in a giant boat shaped like a penis would look like to onlookers.
