Derived from "The Wizard of Oz," while in the movie, the phrase is intended to mean "don't pay any attention to the wizard not being real," it has evolved into a more literal and deeper phrase in modern times.
The fundamental moral lesson of the "Wizard of Oz" is that you MUST follow, follow, follow the "yellow bricked road" to success with your friends who have no brains, no hearts and no courage. Follow the "yellow bricked road to success (the Emerald City) no matter the cost." The Emerald City representing "utopia" or an oasis like (based in illusion) paradise. Follow the road no matter what to the "Emerald City" and when you ultimately realize your entire journey has been for naught, for a lie, for a fake made up imaginary oasis, you are to remember most importantly of all to ""pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"" or "remember to forget that it's all been for a lie."
In the new movie 'Wicked' the entire plot relies on you following your programming and always remembering to forget that the Emerald City has always been fake, the wizard has never been real. Thus, the entirety of the plot is based on a lie and falls apart RAPIDLY if you don't remember to forget.

Get the Man's on the munch mug.A man is someone who drinks ICE cold beer everyday. Spends weekend hunting, fishing, drinking, with little to no sleep. A man will close down the bar, continue drinking until the sun comes up, then goes about his day. A man will never turn down an cold cold beer. Even when it’s 100 degrees outside, a man proudly drinks his beer after a 12 hour day.
A man would start drinking after a 12 hour day, close the bar down, wake up at 6 AM for work . No big deal
