The man lean consists of placing both arms (one on top of the other) on a balcony railing, and adopting a facial expression akin to that of one getting lost in fond memories of the past, while silently weighing up the pros and cons of waiting for one's partner to finally finish their shopping against vaulting the balcony and ending their suffering. Most commonly occurs in shopping centres/malls, and is similar in many ways to the man chair, although takes place outside of the store. A true form of silent struggle. Next time you see a man lean in progress, why not slip a brother a thumbs up, to let him know that things are going to be okay.
"Yo, dude, check it out, you see that right there? Man lean."
"Woah, he looks so...lost..."
"Poor guy, he's been leaning for well over half an hour, I don't think he's gonna last much longer."
"Inconsiderate bitches. Let's go talk to him."
"Hey, chin up, brother. You're fighting the good fight."
"Thanks, guys. I-I really needed that."
