"Man-spressions"

Acceptable:

1. Bro: Term used in reference to, or greeting of another man...who is your friend (Fun fact, is also Swedish for Bridge)

2. Dude: See Bro (Though originally used to denote an ill-bred and ignorant, but ostentatious, man from the city)


To be Avoided:

1. Bra: Pauly Shore inspired version of "Bro"

2. Man Card: An imaginary card that men supposedly carry harkening back to the day's of clubs and groups who's members carried cards. (This was a great expression for a very long time, however it has since "Jumped the Shark" and thus now falls into the to be avoided category due to over saturaion)

3. Douche/Douche Bag: Even as I type this I have a small smile on my face. At one time I honestly believed that "douche" was the single funniest word in the english language...even though it's a French word that means "to shower." Again however, due to over saturation it's just a sad sad silly little word.



Never to be Used:

1. Metrosexual: A term invented by marketers to deal with men who care about appearance and grooming (it's not a new fad losers)

2. Manscaping: The act of grooming of male body hair (everyone should do this, we just don't need to talk about it, and we definately don't need a special new expression, it's hair, you trim it, shave it, or both)

3. Anything Frenchy french: "Je ne sais quois" as an example, you don't sound worldy, cool, or more artsy, you sound like try-hard and no one is impressed.
