Epic Tear of Man Pain 

One single tear dripping soulfully and beautifully down the cheek of a hardcore manly man, to express the deep extent of his man pain. Usually caused by daddy issues or deep emotional trauma. Or both. Also can be used in a general way as "Epic Tears of Man Pain", although there can only be one tear at one time.
As he considered how his father never loved him, an EPIC TEAR OF MAN PAIN rolled softly down his stubbly cheek and rested on his chiselled jaw.

iron man (paintball)

a type of paintball game usually played in woods. in this version of paintball the markers are all put up to full blast and getting hit doesn't mean your out. your out when you simply can't take the pain anymore. t-shirts and jeans are the only allowed clothing (with the exception of cups, which are highly highly recommended)
Jon: Wtf Steve! you get mauled by a bear?

Steve: nope, but i did win a game of iron man (paintball) last Thursday.

When a grown man has the emotional life of an angsty teenager he is said to be experiencing manpain, especially if he tries to compensate with macho behavior.

There are many causes of manpain ranging from violently killed family member/mentor/lover(s) to a broken heart to absent parental figures or even a history of sexual and/or physical abuse.

Manpain is generally expressed in the following ways: breaking shit, drinking too much, picking fights in bars, becoming a costumed superhero and taking long drives while listening to wailing guitars. For the less violent it can be expressed by remaining stone-faced while flexing jaw muscles, staring broodingly into the middle distance and crying a single tear.
Blind with manpain, he drove into the desert and cried single tear while tracing the faces of his murdered family in a photograph.

When a male character's backstory related-angst breaks out, usually in isolation, brooding, douchebaggery, control or trust issues, misbehavior, crying a single tear, etc.

A term coined by fans who understandably got tired of seeing male characters' douchebaggery excused by a dark, tragic past, especially when the past involves hurting & dehumanize female characters solely to motivate the male hero.

Note: there is no female version of Manpain, because women's emotional responses to surviving trauma are always legitimate, no matter how extreme. (Anyone who denies this is just "blaming the victim".)
"The guy on that show was raped repeatedly as a child and saw his whole family killed by gangsters, that's why he has trust issues."

"Whatever, dude just needs to get over his Manpain."
