The opposite of a yes-man. And just as one-sided and hence bad.
Somebody who disagrees with and rejects everything, even people who are on his side or things that are to his advantage. Often just because they didn’t come from him.
Examples include some of the grumpy old men (the others are mere realists with life experience), the average German (I’m sorry, but it’s our national sport), and “Republicans” under a “Democrat” president (to appear as if they are not two arms of the same enemy of the people).

The man flu is where a dude will feel under the weather for a few hours/half the day after sitting outside in the cold for hours while smoking half a pack of cigarettes, some weed, and drinking jack Daniels. The man flu is also having a sinus headache.........that’s it. The man flu is a serious illness that should be announced to all and taken seriously. The man flu has no actual symptoms, when confronted about the man flu it can only be described as “ feeling really sick”. There is no cure for man flu.
My husband has the man flu. He has the sniffles and has dramatically thrown himself on the couch and called out of work.

A term used by women to dismiss men when they are sick. Even though there is evidence to suggest that viral infections in men may be more severe than in women.
Becky: My boyfriend doesn't want to go shopping with me because he's sick
John: That sounds reasonable
Becky: No it isn't. He's not really sick, he just has man flu and wants attention!
