One man's meat, another man's gravy.

A nice twist on one mans meat, another man's poison. Where neither option is that bad. Invites thought , laughter and useful for pub banter.

Originated in the pubs of South London in the 1940s.

I don't know Bill, I don't know what he sees in her.

Long pause...
"But which is better? Meat or gravy?"
"Exactly."

one manned

When a streamer gets baited by one obvious troll comment and spirals into a tantrum, ranting and derailing the stream for an insane amount of time like they're defending their life honor against a single person ("one man")

We call that getting "one manned" or "one man'd"

Example 1:

One Man in Chat: "Bro you're literally balding at 35"
Asmongold: goes into a full TED Talk about genetics, stress, and how "you're just jealous of my jawline."
Chat: "Dang he got one manned"

Example 2:

One Man in Chat: "your beard looks like pubes"
HasanAbi: overreacts and claims it is "capitalist propaganda" for 30 minutes
Chat: clown emojis
