    None of those are words that start with "man." What is "wrong and messed up" about using man as a modifier i.e. man boob, man crush, etc?

    You should really check out Mandingo!

    Mantel
    Manila
    Manslaughter
    are all sexy words

    I do have a problem with the word manscape though (and the act thereof)
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!

    Female manatees should be called Womanatees
    Forward, the Light Brigade!'
    Was there a man dismay'd?
    Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
      Some one had blunder'd:
    Theirs not to make reply,
    Theirs not to reason why,
    Theirs but to do and die:
    Into the valley of Death
      Rode the six hundred.


    Cannon to right of them,
    Cannon to left of them,
    Cannon in front of them
      Volley'd and thunder'd;
    Storm'd at with shot and shell,
    Boldly they rode and well,
    Into the jaws of Death,
    Into the mouth of Hell
      Rode the six hundred.
