Looking for a good man-word

[Michael Adams]

 How about manimal -- not part of the trend, maybe, but somewhere towards the base of the berg.

  I'm working on a possible article about the man-word trend. I have a lot of 
examples, but I'm sure they’re just the tip of the man-berg. The words I’ve 
collected so far:

  man bag
  man blouse
  man cave
  man juice
  man laws
  man purse
  man space
  man suit
  man thong
  man-bender
  man-boobs
  man-breasts
  mancation
  man-crush
  mandal
  man-date
  man-dress
  manfriend
  man-hug
  mankini
  man-loaf
  manmaries
  manny
  manorexia
  manscaping
  man-seed
  man-spat
  manties
  mantique
  man-tits
  manzillian
  menaissance
  moobs
  moobster
  murse

  Any additions to the list would be appreciated!
