Mandem (noun, slang) – A Toronto-origin slang term, originating in the 1990s in the west end of the city, particularly Rexdale, referring to a group of men, typically close friends or a tightly knit crew. The word conveys a sense of brotherhood, loyalty, and collective identity, often used in both social and street contexts. Rooted in Toronto’s multicultural communities, mandem is heavily influenced by Jamaican Patois. Over time, the term has spread beyond Toronto, gaining popularity in other countries, including the UK, where it has been widely adopted into urban and hip-hop culture.
