Man in the costume

Figuratively it refers to a well known truth behind some concept (for example, "santa isnt real") that we collectively decide to ignore, because it ruins the fun.

It's in reference to mascot costumes worn by some poor soul to appease the masses, for example the underpaid part-timers staffing the costumes at disneyland

It's like, as a kid, pulling the "no, you didint just kill me cause we are just pretending" card when playing pretend on a playground

Alternatively, man behind the mask
Weeb A: you do know that most weebs are ironic about waifus, right? Only a relatively small amount of weebs actually think stuff like "this fictional high schooler is the love of my life".
Weeb B: Can we please stop talking about the man in the costume and get back to arguing about which underage girl is hotter?

Man Polo

A game played in a 30' by 30' room with sectional couches along all walls, by predominantly Greek men without the use of horses or mallets. Balls, however, are still integral to the game. A game of Man Polo generally lasts between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on stoppages. At half time, the rider becomes the horse.
Instead of playing football this Sunday, we've decided to play Man Polo instead.

a tiktok trend that went around near halloween last year where someone would make a joke to a person next to them. the person next to them would say “man i’m dead” off screen and be replaced by a skeleton decoration. funniest shit i’ve ever seen
from a tiktok video:
person 1: “hey look. fall, more like ball. (there is a ball next to the decoration)”
person 2 (offscreen): man i’m dead
*skeleton replaces person 2 and falls*

Spider-Man Arms

Arms, particularly on a woman, that are muscular enough to resemble those of the webslinging crimefighter.
Madonna's been working out too much, she's so muscular with her Spider-Man arms, it looks gross.

Man

Inspiration for Batman. Michael Keaton played Man in the 1989 movie "Man". Later, Bob Kane and Bill Finger would add a pair of pointy ears to Man's head and would dub their new character "Batman".
