Reference to the silly and often lackadaisical behavior of Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez. Although Manny is one of the top players on the team, this phrase is generally not used to describe his good play.
Fan 1: Did you see Manny space out and drop that fly ball last night?
Fan 2: Yep. ::sigh:: Manny being Manny.

Get the Manny being Manny mug.In America, the word townie is generally used to refer to people who are deeply rooted in their home town and have little or no prospects of leaving it even to go on vacation (except perhaps Aruba or the Bahamas). Generally, they don't go to college except perhaps to community college where they take one or two classes a semester. They or their families probably own a small business, perhaps paving or landscaping. Many of them frequent cheap, dirty bars that have nothing but Bud Light on tap. Some may be heard drunkenly babbling about how Arabs are taking the country by means of their ownership of countless gas stations and convenience stores. The word townie is also sometimes used by hipster douchebags to take shots at people over their accent and how they choose to spend their time.
Sacramentan: So what do you do for fun in Massachusetts?
Me: Red Sox, poker; I'm a bit of a music-
Sacramentan: "Red Sahx"? "Pokah"? What are you, a fucking townie?
Me: Actually, I have a real job, I go to college full-time, my dad doesn't have a landscaping company, and I don't plan to live on the Irish Riviera forever. -You shouldn't be so quick to judge people. I didn't call you a pretentious hipster douchebag just because you wear thick-rimmed glasses and listen to indie music on your iPod while you ride your fixie to the coffee shop.- (- -: I wish I had actually said that part)
