Man Up

Is there some sort of award in television broadcasting for coming up with the most “clever” male-centric sound-alike terminology? In the last two weeks on the CBS News, I’ve seen stories about how manorexia is on the rise, how to decipher a man’s brocabulary, and how to tell, if you’re a woman, if your significant other is subjecting you to maleienation. What’s next? Encouraging men to go get manograms? An in-depth look at underwear and men who like to wear manties? Talking about how men hide their true selves behind maskulinity?
I’m a shoe-in for an Emmy at this rate.
I would argue that you are the MANtithesis of a shoe-in for an Emmy. You don’t win these kind of prizes when your favorite music is sung by Barry MANilow and your clothing is made out of HIMp (which is illegal in most states by the way).
Now if you’ll excuse me, i have to eat my lunch while it’s hot; MANchovy pizza of course.
I could go traditional and complain about my man boobs, but apart from your observations I much prefer the term “bitch tits”
