Yeah, a pejorative possessive term to indicate than a man belonged to a woman through the shackles of the matriarchal institution of marriage, whereby, even though a man was not intimately tied to the reproductive cycle he was forced to provide for the family materially while also being distanced from it emotionally and spatially by working outside the home.
Margaret: have you seen Catherine's Herman? He's quite the breadwinner, and keeps his distance from the children, quite the ideal money source.
Noel: Yes, I only wish my Herman would stay out of the kitchen. He fancies himself a chef, but honestly, who ever heard of a man who could do anything other than work?
Both: *smug laughter*

Herman is best known for his generosity. He is so generous he will find himself a myopic, near deaf and obese middle aged woman (preferedly single mothers) and crown her his queen. Which makes him Her Man.

A squirmy man who’s gonna make a career out of being a whiny man and also being a politician. He’s got short knees and will let you know about it and force you to accommodate for him. He’s also gonna snitch on his colleagues anytime they say or do something that goes against decorum rules. He also will brag about his public school education.
“Hey Herman how are you?”
