Stage name of Joseph Carey Merrick (1862-90), a man afflicted with two diseases, neurofibromatosis I and Proteus Syndrome, which made his body puff out into a series of tumours that deformed his face, head and one side of his lower body.

Get the Elephant Man mug."Man-kini" is a term used to describe a pair of short, tight swimming trunks worn by men. It is a combination of the words "Man" and "Bikini". One could argue that because men don't normally wear a top piece with their underwear that "Man-kini" is a misnomer.
The style of bathing suit in question is more commonly refered as a "speedo". "Man-kini" is generally used as a deragotive label, implying the man in question is effeminate.

"Look at the dandy over there in the man-kini."
"I can't stand watching professional male body building; they all wear those slingshot sized man-kinis."

Get the Man Basket mug.The community experience so fondly trumpeted as the living skin of the Burning Man is pocked, scarred, and so lacerated that it is no longer the durable integument needed to sustain the Burning Man's viscera. Last year's community was such a stark and realistic representation of modern civilization that it reminded me of my own downtown Oakland.
Burning Man, the man who murdered both his parents... pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.

Get the burning man mug.1. Iron Man is a marvel comics created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Iron man's first appearance was in Tales of Suspense #39. Iron man's true identity is Anthony Stark. Stark was born in Long Island, New York. When he was only 21 years old, he inherited Stark Industries, which is his father's company. On a trip in Vietnam, Stark was captured by Wong Chu, a Vietnamese warlord. Stark was ordered into building weapons for Wong Chu, but he was secretly creating a powerful suit with his fellow prisoner,Yin Sen. When the suit was finished, Yin Sen sacrificed himself so that Stark could get his suit ready for battle. Enraged with his friend's death, Stark killed Wong Chu and managed to escape from Vietnam as the invincible iron man.
2. An awesome song by Black Sabbath.
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
for the future of mankind
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfurl
Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

Get the Dude Man mug.An individual talented in all spheres of human endeavour, including but not limited to sports, art, science, war, philosophy and music.
Some renaissance men of great repute include Leonardo Da Vinci and Goethe.
If you try and think of examples of Renaissance men, remember that it is not enough that they have brilliant minds (hence Einstein is out), nor is it enough that they are fine sportsmen (hence no Carl Lewis) or are well hung and virile (so no Shergar) and nor is it sufficient that they are musically gifted (so we omit Beethoven). It is a requirement that they are talented in ALL these areas.
I myself am a renaissance man, as I am a fine athelete, an excellent scholar, have an ear for music a talent for art and a way with the ladies.
