If you liked "mancation" and "manscaping", get ready to have a *real*
bromance with...

"MANGASM"

This is apparently what you will are guaranteed to enjoy (if you're
of the appropriate gender) when you watch Sylvester Stallone's new
"Expendables", according to the commercials touting the experience.
Apparently, it's the kind of thing men would have if only they could
have orgasms.

I have to admit, urbandictionary has a pretty appropriate definition:

'when a man, has an extreme rush of joy similar to an orgasm from
something manly. Such as beer, spicy food, explosions, fast cars,
firing big guns, hot chicks, or movies involving all of those things'

LH

(Well, they had me at the beer and spicy food, if they'll just let me
skip the movie...)
