Manwords: Real Words for Real Men

by Jeremy Greenberg

So your bros are hanging around the grill, shooting the shit while putting back brews from a pony keg. The air's heavy with barbecue sauce, stale belches, and testosterone. And you want to sound manly, like you read Maxim, not GQ. Like you watch football, not gymnastics. You want to use words like "crack-back," "low rider," and "mojo." You need ManWords.
If you want to be a high roller, a mac daddy, or a player, you also need this book.

And if "taupe," "ruching," and "brow gel" are words you actually know, get this book now. You can probably still be saved.

Not a deep read, but has some knee slapping entries on guy vocab.

I thought this was a fun collection of some of the terms you hear but may not have a good understanding of their meaning. Explained a bunch slang. Pretty cool, really.

Well. That was a total waste of 20 minutes of my time.
