For some reason, the term “mancave” has really annoyed me since I first heard it. It grates in a similar fashion to all those other “man” phrases, like “manbag”, “manpurse”, and especially “manpussy” (I read a little too much bad erotic fiction porn, OK?). You hear “mancave” an awful lot on HGTV, as you might imagine. Last night, I got a really big chuckle when a wife accidentally referred to her husband’s proposed “mancave” as his “men’s room” instead.
I think that was funnier in real life (and when I told it to my student workers) than it reads here. I’m sorry…
I’m with you!
Galen said you left out “mangina.”
I hate it. It’s cringe inducing.
I’m glad I’m not the only person who absolutely detests the term “mancave.” I cringe and literally shudder when someone uses it.
